Re: Starting Over with CPAP
Well, I must say this forum is an amazing resource. I did a little light reading, and some of the tips I read have finally gotten me through a full night's sleep in the new mask. One suggestion was to wear the mask during a different activity to get used to it. I wore the mask for an hour while I wa...

Re: Starting Over with CPAP
Yes, the minimum pressure is 8, and the max is 20. The ramp pressure is 5. However, the masks I tried were difficult to exhale with when they weren’t connected to the machine, and the Quattro feels great with the machine on. I noticed no difference with the Phillips masks when they were connected to...

Re: Starting Over with CPAP
Yes. The exhale issue is independent of the machine. I can't exhale through it when it isn't even connected to the machine.

Re: Starting Over with CPAP
Well, It has been a few months since I originally posted this, and I must say that I am really enjoying the AutoSet for Her machine. It is quiet, I feel like I am sleeping better (when I sleep), and overall it just seems like a quality unit. My current problem revolves around masks. I tried to go wi...

Re: Starting Over with CPAP
Well, they did order another sleep study, but I told them I had to have it done in this timeframe, so they are doing an at home study and I should be able to knock it out next week. I will just keep my fingers crossed and push for the AutoSet. If I have to go out of pocket for it, then so be it. I r...

Re: Starting Over with CPAP
I am trying not to self fund, lol, hence the need for a little urgency on my part. After my recent hospital stay, I am all maxed out on my out of pocket spending for the year, but that rolls over on January 1st, so I am trying to squeeze these things in if possible. It's not that I want to rush anyt...

Re: Starting Over with CPAP
I have read many posts regarding an extra setting on the "For Her" machines. I feel weird as a guy asking for one, but hey, I feel like getting an extra option is never a bad thing right?
Thank you for your response!

Starting Over with CPAP
I was diagnosed about 9 years ago after a sleep study. I don't remember all of the details, but I know they said I had over 50 events in an hour, and I was advised to get a CPAP, etc. I was really excited because I was recovering from a heart attack at 35, lethargic all the time, and sleeping like g...
