Hello, Ever since I started using CPAP, I've had trouble determining a comfortable range for the Autoset pressure. How do you determine what is the correct range to use? The pressure always seems too low or too high, and I am never comfortable. Currently, I've just been using the range feels most co...

Ok thank you. For some reason I'm able to get it to work now. Not sure what happened.

Hi, I'm trying to either increase the start pressure or remove Auto Ramp altogether while using AutoSet mode. It is currently at 4.0 and I can barely breathe because the pressure is so low. I know how to access it on the clinical menu, but when I try to select them, they are locked and unable to be ...

What's up everyone. I've been using my CPAP machine for about 3 weeks now. So far, I'm really liking it. However, I still don't feel like I'm sleeping well. OSA is seemingly gone, but I'm concerned that I'm still having central apneas at the same rate as before I started the machine. Below is my OSC...

Soul drifter....my day to day awake nasal breathing is off as well. BOTH my ex and current bf have commented on my sighing/breath holding...they both have said it’s like I’ve taken a breath but the exhale is very delayed. I never connected it until you asked. I am in the process of navigating throu...

Just wondering, can a "Clear Airway" event ever be attributed to either open mouth/mouth breathing? What about a leak? In last nights results, it looks like there might be a correlation between Leak Rate and Clear Airway events Clear Airway continues to be my biggest issue. It will be interesting to...

Night 3 Here are last night's results. Used fixed pressure 4.2, as of now I'm going to keep bumping it incrementally over time and see how I feel. Unlike night 2, I felt like I hardly slept so I'm not sure how accurate the results are. On top of that, I don't know why but it seemed like the seal wa...

Night 2 Below is my Night 2 OSCAR data (last night), I'm not going to bother posting my Night 1 data since it's much more all over the place and I'm assuming its inaccurate as I was just getting used to the machine. Overall I was able to sleep much better last night with the mask, it felt like I wa...

FWIW, I had alot of trouble with mouth-breathing initially and I tried breathe-right strips to help get better flow through my nose. Made a world of difference at least for me. Also, dont get discouraged about not sleeping. I started this whole adventure less than a month ago. In the beginning, I d...

Night 1 Night 1 is in the books. The nasal mask had a good fit overall and was comfortable with a great seal. I decided to use micropore tape to tape my mouth to prevent leaks and it went well at first. The first hour using my machine I was watching tv propped up on a wedge pillow. I started out us...

just remind them politely but firmly that it is YOUR therapy and you can make adjustments as you see fit.

As well, that you don't work for them,it's the other way around.

true, dat.

this is also why i don't use self service check out lines at the grocery store.

I even wonder how accurate these sleep studies are when it comes to Centrals? After all our CPAP machines mark any sort of arousal or deep sigh as a Central. Couldn't the same thing be occurring in these studies? ooops. my reply was knocked aside by zonker, that rude so 'n' so! :lol: :lol: :lol: Th...

I am a bit older than you but also have ADD and messed about with stimulant meds and am working on CPAP now to see if there’s anything that will help me with fatigue/brain fog. I would say to keep pursuing the CPAP. Like you I am relatively young, thin, don’t snore, and was told that I didn’t need ...

There has been a great deal of discussion here so far and it sounds like you are open to trying to figure out what is going on. "When you say 6 or 7, I'm assuming you mean the max pressure. I don't believe I can change that on my end, I think that has to be done by the company that issued my machin...

When you say 6 or 7, I'm assuming you mean the max pressure. I don't believe I can change that on my end, I think that has to be done by the company that issued my machine, so I'm not sure how I'm going to make changes easily. I'll figure it out. And yes, I will definitely stay in this thread for a...
