I discovered a solution to water in my BiPap mask. The mask started dripping water when we opened bedroom windows to cool the house at night. Solution: I cut several inches off the end of an old [clean] sock, then cut the toe off the sock to make a hole large enough for the mask hose to fit through....

Water started dripping in my mask when we opened windows at night to cool off the house. The hose is heated and does not seem to collect moisture. I added a cozy around the short hose dangling from the mask, and a cozy to snap and fit around the mask nose cone. This helped enormously. When I get up ...

In summary Cpap felt like the post-partum depression I experienced 38 years ago. Not doing this again. My doctor explained why cpap was worth it as a test leading to bpap. Apparently it's useful for many people at lower elevations. Not so much at our 7,000 ft. Cpap is turned back to the sleep clinic...

To clarify: I have been reminded that my cpap is prescribed to gather 11 weeks of data before they know how to start treating my central apnea. Considering it has taken me 2 weeks to really get with the program of wearing this thing all night, and I'm not yet sleeping all night, I'm starting to unde...

"But you do need to do what the Oscar post say to do rather than wing it as above. Present the graphs, etc. according to the instructions so we can actually see what's what."
Where do I find the Oscar post?

The in-lab sleep study at Mountain Heart sleep clinic had very little data reported showing Central Apnea, because they woke me up at 5am when the central apnea just started. Dr Henderson's original plan was to use the loaner CPAP for 11 weeks to get more data, then figure out which machine I actual...

Yes, most of my sleep apnea is central. I downloaded Oscar and it translates my sleep data very well. I've attached a screen shot of the statistics report. Do you need the daily report, or any other reports, and how can I efficiently send them to you? I know I need to reduce AHI. It seems like somet...

Hello wonderful cpap support team. I look forward to reduction of stress symptoms, night-time bathroom visits, and general improvement in health. I now have a card reader showing the files in this attached screen shot. The directories on the card are not informative, and the files not shown are no m...

Getting used to CPAP is an incredibly complex and frustrating process. My doc says it may take 11-12 weeks to start to see results. She said I'm probably mouth breathing and gave me a full-face-mask, YUCK!. And FFM doesn't really solve the problem. I requested a chin strap and have an interim appoin...

How do I get new posts to the front or top of the thread? Maybe this will come out at the top. It's a bit of a dance to move beyond the angst of my first posts. Up, down, forward, back. Recurring stress symptoms again! Overall, life is looking better. Sunshine helps. I tried taping my mouth, while w...

Several websites discuss the benefits of controlled mouth breathing. This is a good discussion. https://www.sleepresolutions.com/blog/cpap-masks-and-problems-with-mouth-breathing It seems that full face masks only solve part of the problem. Breathing cpap air through the nose is much more effective ...

OMG, I am so excited, I have to tell you, members of my apnea support team. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday I was in despair over slow progress in my cpap process, I could not yet call it therapy. Tuesday I was in tears much of the day, to the point it seemed I had given myself a cold. Well, a sad movie...

Complete response to Pugsy. Thanks for helping me fit into the format. 1. I've updated my profile so my equipment will hopefully show at the bottom of this post. I selected text rather than icony, and my profile shows images. I added Flagstaff AZ 7000 ft. elevation, because high elevation contribute...

Much gratitude to all who responded. This reply is to pugsy's request to follow forum procedures. 1. I don't know how to put my information into my profile, and I don't see where to access my profile. I included my machine model and headgear model at the start of my post. I tried the wiki/index link...

I don't know how to tie this post into my previous [2, maybe] posts. Diagnosis and prescription: At home sleep study showed Obstructive and Central Sleep Apnea, and low blood oxygen 76.6 for 72 minutes. AHI 25.5 CAI 13.1 In-lab sleep study using CPAP the entire 6hr study showed no OSA, and some CSA ...
