CPAP talk on FEb. 28

[LauraK]

I hope this is ok to post - if not please feel free to delete it.

Dr Stephen Park, NYC sleep doctor, hosts regular chats on line about various topics and I got an email note earlier this week that Tuesday's talk is about CPAPs.

Here's the text of the email: "This month, I've invited Ms. Nicole Garrison, Clinical Specialist for Philips Respironics, to answer your questions about your most common CPAP problems. Some of the questions she will answer will be:

#1. What can I do about skin irritation/breakdown on my nose/face?
#2. How can I stop the pressure Leaks, & is there options for mask discomfort?
#3. I feel like I cannot exhale against the pressure, what can I do?
#4. Do I have any options if I cannot tolerate the pressure during inhalation and exhalation?
#5. Why am I waking up with my mask off next to me?
#6. What can I do about dryness/dry mouth?
#7. What if I do not feel better, even with wearing CPAP every night?

I imagine there are many of you here who would be able to also answer all of these questions , but thought I would share this anyway.
Dr. Park is NEVER trying to sell anything and is genuinely interested in helping patients.
