Re: Apap machine setting questions
Yes, you are correct, I have significant issues sleeping, and typically wake up about 6-12 times a night. The Oscar gaps are when I actually wake up and get up. I wake upon the slightest sound or movement.
I appreciate the suggestions and will continue to play with the settings.
Thank you!

Apap machine setting questions
I have a few questions I hope I can get some help with: 1. It does not seem that much water is being used as I can get three nights out of a fill of the water container. Water level also seems to decrease faster when container is full and decrease slower when water level in container is less. I was ...

Re: APAP first night challenge
Apnea almost killed me IMO, BP 200/130. Now BP 120/70. I had to do some tweaking to get this comfortable, but I can do this, and this is improving the future. I sleep so much deeper. I am stoked about my health and the future I can have with family and friends.

Re: APAP first night challenge
I turned the hose temperature down to 76 F and that is significantly more comfortable IMO, but I will try at 74 F this week. Shaving the beard and using some pure Aloe Vera gel on my face provided a much better mask seal of 8.4 L/min last night. Last night myair score was 100 points for everything. ...

Re: APAP first night challenge
My apologies, I had the incorrect machine in my profile. It is the newest Airsense 10 auto machine. I woke up at least a dozen times last night. I kept pulling the nose part down so I could get some cool air. It seems like 80F was just too hot for me. I have dropped the hose temperature by 2 degrees...

APAP first night challenge
This is my very first night, so working on improving. Any thoughts or suggestions? The smell of plastic was terrible, so washed the mask and hose today. Air is leaking from around the mask and I am working on improving this. Shaved my beard. I noticed the air seemed too warm or humid. Not sure which...

Re: OT: I have Shingles and it really sucks
I got shingles new years day on my face and my eye completely closed. I was doing honey close to the eyes and tea tree oil on the rest of my face. Tea tree oil seemed to help the most IMO.

Re: Newbie member-official sleep apnea test done
The doctor sent me home with a sleep apnea test machine of which I did three nights over a weekend. Today the doctor says I have obstructive sleep apnea that averaged 28.6 drops per hour. Just under severe. The sleep study office tried to get me to purchase the machine through them, but I declined a...
