Re: It’s no wonder cpap compliance is so liw

No matter how many problems I solve, more problems pop up and make it impossible to use cpap. I hate this thing. I think the best solution is to sleep on my side with a pillow blocking me from rolling over. My sleep study said it is positional, that I had no event on my side. Nightmare. Almost all ...

Re: Bleep/DreamPort nasal mask review thread

I have problems with leaking because a higher pressure pushes my tongue down enough for some air to escape out of my mouth even though it is taped or I'm using Sominex. Just enough to cause leaking. Would that still be an issue with the Bleep? I'm very intrigued by it. There is some belief that Ble...

Re: Broken Tooth

I had a broken tooth once. It was awful, partially because an orthodontist thought it wasn't broken and tried to do a root canal, but never could because the pain could not be blocked. I don't use a full face mask so I didn't have the problem with cpap that you are. Advil didn't touch it. I have bad...

Re: No sd card in my new AirSense10 Auto

Every machine I've gotten from cpap.com, including the current machine (autoset 10) came with an SD card from the manufacturer. Just saying...

Re: Hooked on the Bleep system.

I was wondering what everyone thinks about the new vent diffuser? I prefer it to be open so I took it off because it didn't have time to dry. I think I will just leave it off. Definitely a preference thing. If I feel any air moving out wakes me up ... left over from the last mask, so a diffuser is ...

Re: Help! Cpap doen't work

Turn humidity off and see if it'll run. You can leave water in the tank for passover heating if this gets you by.

Re: Cleaning

Pissing contest and name calling on both sides. I just figured it's cause everyone is so tired. At least the folks on this forum have an excuse. No idea why the motorcycle, SCUBA, and aviation forums I frequent are so filled with pissy posters . . . maybe they have untreated sleep apnea? :lol: :lol...

Re: Attn: Bleep DreamPort mask users who want some free ports

Posting this hoping Stuart reads it. I wanted to try the Bleep mask. So I looked for it on a few Canadian sites. None stocked. I then sent my preferred CPAP site an email asking if they intend on stocking it. Within about 15 minutes, they responded indicating they've tried to get some but can't. He...

Re: The Blïp Chït* – great or horrible? (Bleep DreamPort re-use topic)

One concern i have is that Bleep is an infant company. If everyone did this (i know they won't) it wouldn't survive. That would be bad indeed. It is such a niche mask in a vertical market that is overcrowded that i an surprised they are able to make profit sufficient to stay alive. Stuart is the CEO...

Re: Leaks?

PS you can look back quite a bit, probably forever, in the machine's lifetime. How has your AHI varied, especially before and after weight loss?

Re: Leaks?

Hopefully this shows up. https://ibb.co/RPm1KJp While I do see the leaking it rises to the machine's large leak level relatively rarely. I'm not saying ignore it, but I am saying that the machine's ability to flag events is still pretty accurate. The events suggest you're experiencing obstructive a...

Re: Leaks?

I use a straight pressure of 13. I've been on CPAP for about 7 years now and I use a nasal mask. For the past couple months I have had leaks and they are coming from my mouth. I've never had this issue before until I lost weight. I'm down about 80lbs. Could it be that my pressure is too high now? S...
