Re: Is there a mask with a decent enough check valve to release your exhale?

Thank you all. I have follow up with sleep study today. So you recommend this:

I remember someone saying to get the "for her" unit. Is that option available in the link above, what's the difference?

Re: Is there a mask with a decent enough check valve to release your exhale?

Hello, it's been a while since I've posted. A lot of stuff happened since. Anyway I have finally done a sleep study last night, but they didnt give me a cpap for any portion of the test. They said I have to come back and test again with cpap🙄. I was under the impression that half the night, they wou...

So you just stuff the filter on the inside flat against the holes?

Re: Is there a mask with a decent enough check valve to release your exhale?

I mean this thing seems like more air comes out the exhaust holes than anywhere else.

Re: Is there a mask with a decent enough check valve to release your exhale?

Bleep question:

I really want to like the Bleep but I think it's going to annoy me. Is it normal for the air to be so noisy coming out of the exhaust holes?

It sounds more noisy when inhaling, like an oxy-acetylene torch. I'm not sure if anyone can sleep next to me lol

Re: Is there a mask with a decent enough check valve to release your exhale?

Hey. Just reporting back. Yea teeth still hurting. I dont know why but when on my stomach, my tongue somehow wants to press against my front teeth making them sore. I definitely never had that problem before using the CPAP. My guess is that when my tongue relaxes after falling asleep that the pressu...

Re: Is there a mask with a decent enough check valve to release your exhale?

The pressure can't move the tongue or force the tongue to do anything. I know you think the pressure is hurricane force winds but even at the max setting it can't even blow up a balloon. If the teeth are sore....most likely from the mask or mask straps putting too much pressure on the teeth. The ma...

Re: Is there a mask with a decent enough check valve to release your exhale?

I ordered the Bleep. I'm so glad I did. I'm tired of looking like Rocky in the morning when I look in the mirror. My teeth hurt in the morning. I think it's because my tongue is pushing against them all night from the pressure. Anyone notice that? When I push my tongue against my teeth or suck my te...

Re: Is there a mask with a decent enough check valve to release your exhale?

Hey thanks for the link. Just curious if this is the same thing? https://www.cpap.com/productpage/bleep-dreamport-cpap-mask It is the same product but the cpap.com package includes 2 weeks worth of the stick on ports. It's a trial starter kit of sorts. Cpap.com doesn't offer the hose/frame interfac...

Re: Is there a mask with a decent enough check valve to release your exhale?

Thank you. I'm looking into buying the Bleep. I see what some are talking about with marks on your face and bags under eyes from straps. Anyway, I see this Bleep on Amazon. Is this just the stick one for the nose? Do I need the other attachment that hooks onto these? Bleep Dreamports (32 Count Box) ...

Re: Is there a mask with a decent enough check valve to release your exhale?

Hey, I haven't had time to pull out the chip yet but just had a question after wearing last night. I'm actually able to sleep on my back now which is great but I guess since I haven't slept in this position in so long, I feel like I never really get into a deep sleep. So after about two hours, I tur...

Re: Is there a mask with a decent enough check valve to release your exhale?

Thanks again. I have some good news atleast for now. I set the machine to auto and set the min and max pressures at 10 and 20. The system now reads "A flex" instead of "C flex+". I didn't try laying down yet but I tried watching TV sitting up on couch slightly leaning back with my head at a 45 degre...

Re: Is there a mask with a decent enough check valve to release your exhale?

Thank you. I really appreciate everyone's help. I'm gonna work on getting a more updated machine and get the Bleep and also the nasal pillow model. Cranking up the pressure to get air moving out of the mask makes sense too so I will be trying that as well. I will report back with results as soon as ...
