[angied]

hi all
put mask on last night eventually fell asleep only to be woken with gasping noises then i snored (was loud even i heard it) and wke up choking my hubby had to rush to take the mask off. thought the mask was supposed to stop the choking etc? didnt put it back on after that and no sleep either!

Can you give us some more info?

You can fill in your equipment in the profile section. Also, can you tell us how long you have been using your machine and what your settings are? Do you have a copy of your sleep study? Does your machine give you data? If you are not sure, telling us the model of machine will tell us.

Without any real info, it sounds like you may not be getting a therapeutic level of air pressure, so it is not stopping your apnea events. But it can be more complicated than that.

Do you know if it's an auto machine? Does it have data?

Are you sure that the machine was turned on?

I did that once I thought "damn, this machine isn't working/helping.......duh....turn it on stupid

note to self: don't forget to lower the cover after filling the humidifier.

i did that one time. filled the humidifier, masked up, turned out the light and was blowing and blowing trying to get it to autostart. turned on the light and figured it out. it won't autostart if the cover is up and you can't blow into it. LOL....

If it has data, then you too can see it. They just won't tell you that. You can download ResScan for free or Sleepyhead for free.
