Re: Really new, left in dark by doctors
Bear in mind that the heated tube/hose doesn't change the actual amount of humidity being delivered.. all it does is help control condensation of that humidity in the hose or mask. So whatever hose temp you select will NOT impact the amount of humidity that the machine cranks out. Amount of humidit...

Re: Really new, left in dark by doctors
A setting of 4 on a ResMed machine really isn't all that high of a setting and if one lives in a relatively humid area that setting probably doesn't really add much (if any) moisture to the cpap provided air. Here's how it works...the setting (whatever it is) for humidity is what the machine is sup...

Re: Really new, left in dark by doctors
Did it not occur to you that your sinus problem might be caused by such high humidity = depending on where you live, Arizona vs Seattle, you may not need that humidity at all, or only on a lower setting at most. I live in London, the air is generally neutral/to humid cos of the rain. I truly think ...

Re: Really new, left in dark by doctors
Hi all, continuing my thread. Hope you can help. Have found a little more relief of symptoms from having min pressure 10 max 12 and EPR at 3. But I am finding myself severely congested and 'black eyed' the next morning. The best way I can understand it is imagine holding your nose and blowing out, y...

Re: Really new, left in dark by doctors
why would people with UARS need a higher pressure? I don't know and not everyone does end up needing markedly higher pressures. I have just noticed over the years that when people with UARS come here...seems like that's what happens. Remember....UARS as a real medical problem in still in its infanc...

Re: Really new, left in dark by doctors
https://novarecoverycenter.com/drugs/trazodone/#h-trazodone-withdrawal-symptoms-and-detox It's up for grabs how long any withdrawal symptoms may persist but it could be months...and messing with sleep itself is one of the many potential side effects. Similar side effects I think from the other meds...

Re: Really new, left in dark by doctors
That one night looks pretty good, setting the max at 10 only prevents the machine from acting, in case it needs to go higher, there's few legitimate reasons to lower the max from 20. You might try raising the min to 8, and see if that helps, you're doing quite well for someone new, but there is roo...

Re: Really new, left in dark by doctors
The max of 10 isn't an issue. The machine hasn't wanted to go near it anyway. How many hours of sleep are you getting? Are those hours fragmented with very many wake ups? Do you take any medications of any kind? If so, what? I see no RERA flags???? why do you thing that one zoomed in bigger breath ...

Re: Really new, left in dark by doctors
Attaching a file with a cleaner look and showing the whole night. Also max is 10 because I don't know any better! Hence needing advice, doctors literally chuck it at you.

Really new, left in dark by doctors
Hi, I know a lot of people are left in the dark by their doctors to simply figure out their machine and troubles with CPAP so I really hope someone can offer some help/peace of mind. AHI readings are super low, waking up feeling shattered still. I know something's amiss. Min Pressure 7, Max 10 on Re...
