CPAP Died Last Night

Post by Onyer6 » Fri Mar 27, 2026 8:32 am

It just stopped. 2 am. I got it going for about 2 minutes twice, then it stopped again. Dream Machine II.
I can't seem to get any help for 3 days. A rental would be a res-med and I would need training and no one's available until after the weekend. Trying to sleep with a nasal dilator sticky didn't work well. It seems that after 10-15 yrs on this thing I've forgotten how to breathe w/o it. I won't be eligible for a new rig for about a month. This morn I got it started again, but didn't see how long it would continue. Will check later when I pass out..Any troubleshooting tips or ideas where I could get a rental machine would be helpful. If it's a res-med I'd need a trainer. Machines are more available the RT's.

No, you don't need a trainer.

Get your settings off your DreamStation, pick up a used ResMed AutoSet (either the 10 or 11), the folks here will set it up according to the settings on your DS.

In my honest opinion I wouldn’t trust over half the things people say on here. I only believe in the advice of my doctor and trusted cpap sources.
