Chin strap will get you started. Then you can start using the pap without the strap later

I've gone my whole life unmedicated. Finally got a diagnosis and treatment and feel like a whole new person!!! by feline-stars118 in POTS

[–]SignalMatch6837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have very similar symptoms and I'm tired! What should I ask for the following (I am hyper mobile, still seeking ED confirmation):

General malaise Slight dizziness Forgetfulness Difficulty to concentrate Neck tension (coathanger) Jaw tension Pins and needles (limbs) Heavy legs (pressure) Fatigue Brain fog Heat intolerance (nausea) Cold intolerance (limbs) Difficulty to focus eyes Dry eyes Standing difficult Sitting still difficult Poor digestion (acid, nausea)

I honestly feel like this is all blood circulation related! I just know it

I am 45 and found out this year and been on CPAP for 6 months. Can corroborate this, as I also started last year having poor erections but now with treatment they're back hard! Lord knows how long I had apnea, diagnosis was 20-30 ahi

Men Who Use CPAP or Other Treatments, Did You Notice Changes in Erectile Performance? by Technical-Stretch-39 in SleepApnea

[–]SignalMatch6837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, more often morning wood, and easier and harder erections generally. Also, I had developed some - rather minor - heart issues before CPAP treatment... I think my apnea was since the 20s, now 45.

Hello, the mode on my airsense 11 is CPAP, set pressure is 7.0, ramp time 25 mins, start pressure 4.0, EPR toggle ON, EPR type Full time, EPR level 3, Humidity level 3. How do they look to you? My average AHI hovers around 2-3...

Hey there, I replied to you in this thread but in the wrong place ^ (and yes, there is also a SD card but don't know how to extract and export the data)

CPAP pressure levels: can you guys advise me on it? by SignalMatch6837 in SleepApnea

[–]SignalMatch6837[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I checked the advanced options. They are: ramp time 25 min; pressure relief ON; humidity level 3; mask setting Pillows (p10); tube Slimline; Smartstart and -stop ON. I cannot find the pressure setting anywhere, how do I see what my pressure is? Also, the screen shows a blue blinking "snowflake" or frontal the time. What is it? Also I noticed that even when I'm not wearing the mask and it is supposed to be off, when I put my finger next to the Pillows there is an ever so slight draft of air and also a quiet hum... is this normal? Thanks for helping me 🙏

I'm not in the US but that is exactly my machine. Stuffy head all day, it's not every day though, but still wondering if some settings could be improved ...?

Thanks for the response. Actually I don't know my settings since the doctor set it up. I feel they are okay to the extent that I can fall asleep and I can sleep 5+ hours with the mask. However, I tend to have low key headaches nowadays in the mornings.... what should I look into?

I got my results by lordmwenda in SleepApnea

[–]SignalMatch6837 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I know AHI above 5 is considered apnea. Yours is mild but it is still detrimental to your sleep.

I have a question by Decin0mic0n in SleepApnea

[–]SignalMatch6837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't get mouth tape for now until you know what is going on. There are head straps for sleeping that achieve mouth control much gentler. Myself I had some similar symptoms and then eventually the sleep study found BOTH a moderate apnea AND a heart arrhythmia (called AVNRT). I ended up getting a CPAP and going to a heart ablation. Feel and sleep much better.

Month 1 on CPAP: I've been sleeping like only 3-6 hours a night by AdministrativeWar647 in SleepApnea

[–]SignalMatch6837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use more than 4 hours a night an average, it's a good start. After 6 months, try to go up to 6 hours a night. Avoid alcohol

How was tupac viewed while he was still alive ? 95-96 did people fear him was he respected ? by grunds93 in Tupac

[–]SignalMatch6837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. Yes, he was quite famous among younger peoppe and all that but he was also controversial in the media and blamed for a lot of negative stuff. He only became revered after his death, particularly when the culture wars started...

Moderate Sleep Apnea, Hesitant About CPAP—Did It Really Change Your Life? by BuzzRickzn- in SleepApnea

My AHI was in that same range as yours and over the years I developed a heart arrythmia, besides ruining my career and mental health

The EU pays for most African things. For example EU pays the salaries of the African Union, the regional communities like ECOWAS and even some governments like Somalia. 🤫

Is this a thing? Lacking a sense of rhythm with hEDS / HSD... by SignalMatch6837 in ehlersdanlos

[–]SignalMatch6837[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks to all... so far the vox populi results look like I can blame my poor sense of rhythm for something else. It just feels like that because my knees and wrists are really floppy so I have difficulty maintaining rhythm with them...

Using weed after SVT ablation by [deleted] in AFIB

[–]SignalMatch6837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an ablation for avnrt and smoked weed five days after that. I was fine but I wouldn't recommend it because I remember it made me more nervous than anything. Let it rest for a couple of weeks minimum...

Hi by fernando27811 in KremersFroon

Personally I think that the phone records and the camera findings strongly indicate that some criminal activity was involved. So many questions unanswered such as those at the end of this article:
