my avatar came from my being on higher Bi-pap pressure....

20IPAP and 14.4 EPAP

at those higher pressures, it feels like I spent the night being blown up like a puffer fish.

time for a new bump.....appropriate for newbies and veterans
#1 it really is important to know what your pressures are to help with suggestions

#2 it helps to know if the person giving advice has dealt with similar pressures... what works for pressure of 7, may not work or be appropriate for pressures in the uppers teens



I think that many of us would find it very helpful if everyone would include their pressure(s) in their equipment profile.

Advice that works at low pressures may not work at high ones (and vice versa, of course.)

Knowing the pressure an advice-giver uses would make it easier for readers to determine whether the advice given
might work for them.

To add your pressure to your profile go to:

User Control Panel (just below the cpaptalk.com logo) > Profile > Edit Equipment > Additional Comments

and type away.

Thanks.
