swift and pressure

Post by swtsassy65 » Fri Nov 18, 2005 7:43 pm

HI Everyone,
I just got back from the dk and got my new auto resaults. I am now bumped up from 13 to 16 of pressure. Does anyone know if my swift can or will handle this pressure? My provider said it will cause pain and fitted me with a confort gel nasal mask.

I must admitt it does not excite me. I still want my swift. Any ideas???

thanks

A sense of humor can help you overlook the unattractive, tolerate the unpleasant, cope with the unexpected, and smile through the unbearable

Good rule of thumb is to stay with the device you are comfortable with.
You are acclimated to breathing with,and against your 2 streams of air.(swift)With the c gel you must reacclimate to breathing with and against the cloud of air.I would increade my temperature with your increased pressure(16) so not to get too dry,& stay with the swift.Good luck

I agree with Jordo. Now is not the time to learn new tricks. Stay with the swift. Experiment later.
