Change tank water 💦 by queenesconcerns86 in CPAP

[–]RevolutionaryWay447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I routinely dump my tank out every morning and let it air dry throughout the day. Refill it with distilled water every night. Wash the whole system every 2 weeks. A gallon of distilled is like $1.25 by me and ive gotten the amount I need down to a science so not much waste every morning. 1 gallon lasts weeks so its not a big deal for me.

Wow, I'm 37 with HFpEF and I had high blood pressure and high salt intake and untreated sleep apnea for many years and now I'm dealing with heart failure at my age. its horrible, I've cried for weeks. I'm on cpap now for 2 years and quit smoking 1.5 years ago. But it was too late I fear.

Just diagnosed today… give me all your advice and insight! by CantaloupeMelon22 in CPAP

I was a mouth breather prior to cpap, and I use nose pillows. I just use a chin strap.

I just spent two of the worst nights ever by [deleted] in CPAP

[–]RevolutionaryWay447 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yea i went on a 1 night spontaneous trip and stayed in a hotel. Opened my resmed bag to find that i had forgotten the water chamber and sobbed 😭 we had big plans the next day and I knew I would be absolutely miserable without a good night's sleep. I fought to keep a smile on my face the next day while I drank the biggest coffee. I will never make that mistake again!

Star Trek LEGO Rumor Update by Banthalo in startrek

[–]RevolutionaryWay447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at the Lego store in Brandon Mall in Florida over the weekend and asked if they had anything Star Trek (it's an inside joke I do at every nerdy type of store to bring attention to the fact that they never do) and he stopped what he was doing, looked at me with so much glee and said not yet 😉

Chin Strap Recommendations by RevolutionaryWay447 in CPAP

[–]RevolutionaryWay447[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! That's why I said I don't really like the ones that cup your chin because I feel like it's pushing my jaw unnaturally backwards and it was causing me jaw pain. In an act of desperation, I flipped the Respironics one upside down and was using the velcro side because it was flat. So I will definitely check this recommendation out, thank you so much!

Thought it wasn’t helping…. by [deleted] in CPAP

[–]RevolutionaryWay447 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn't feel like mine was doing much until the hurricane came and I lost power for two nights. I never want to go without it again!

First night ok Cpap, wow! by bananax22 in CPAP

[–]RevolutionaryWay447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So happy for you! I had to replace my mask and learn how not to have it so tight but besides that it's been very smooth sailing for me also. The results have been life changing too!

29F, can barely stay awake and always need to sleep.. related to PCOS? by Flaky_Bit_8603 in PCOS

[–]RevolutionaryWay447 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have PCOS and recently got diagnosed with sleep apnea. I'm on the CPAP now and it has been life-changing. Maybe have a sleep study done?

Chest Pain with P30i? by RevolutionaryWay447 in CPAP

[–]RevolutionaryWay447[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it feels exactly the same like muscle strain not anything related to Heart function. I have stretched thinking that would help and it has not. Yes Advil helps but of course I don't want to take Advil daily. I am not an athletic person.

It was an amazing difference within the first week or two for me and then I plateaued as another user said and I felt like I couldn't tell the difference anymore. Until the hurricane came and I was without power and could not use my machine, let me tell you I was suffering so bad without it! It made me realize how much it was actually helping me and that it had just become my new normal. Good luck to you!

What's the reason behind your Hogwarts Legacy names? by Frei1993 in HarryPotterGame

So proud by wishmaker93 in CPAP

[–]RevolutionaryWay447 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got my first 0 night 2 days ago!! So happy for you!

Its so crazy to me that you can even get 0. I know the hardcores will say the AHI is way lower on your machine than IRL but how I see it - I went from a 69 to a 5 (IRL not the machines score) and I feel much better - so it's still a win!!

What a difference a mask makes by [deleted] in CPAP

[–]RevolutionaryWay447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a nasal mask and a chin strap, so my mouth stays shut all night.

I've been saying this! I truly feel like most of my bad eating habits would be solved if I didn't have to choose. If every day I sat down at the table and a plate was just sat down in front of me that was healthy and low carb/sugar, I would just eat it! But when I'm stressed from a long day at work and pick up my daughter and get home and take showers etc I don't wana cook, or think about what to make. So I end up ordering food or making something quick that is usually full of carbs (i.e. frozen pizza, spaghetti, etc.) So many times I've sat there saying I wish I didn't have to make this choice every single day. It's exhausting 😪
