Lee replied to Lee's discussion DreamWear full face"Well I turned EPR on and tried the mask again last night, but again I stopped breathing which woke me up gasping for air. It seems to happen just after or not long after I drop off, after the third time I changed mask back to original one and went…"
Kath Hope replied to Lee's discussion DreamWear full face"Sorry for the delay as I managed to get myself locked out of the forum lol. Please don't be messing with the pressures and contact your hospital if your wife has noticed you looking gray. Perhaps go back to a different mask until…"
Edam replied to Edam's discussion APAP or BIPAP"There is no link between the 95% pressure and the AHI.
A few nights back my 95% pressure was 19.46 with AHI 0
Last night my 95% pressure was 17 with AHI 0
When the AHI does increase its normally hypopnoea,s
So why does the APAP want to increase the…"
Lee replied to Lee's discussion DreamWear full face"Hi thanks for the reply’s I will look at this as the wife said I was gray yesterday and after looking at the instructions again it says about the symptoms I had to not use and talk to my clinic so a bit worried. I used my other full face mask…"
Sleep2snore replied to Lee's discussion DreamWear full face"I would say if you have the Ramp Start enabled to make it start at a higher pressure. Check also if you are using a big enough cushion as this is a common mistake. Same with Nasal Pillows, people tend too use a size to small. Check you…"
Sleep2snore replied to Edam's discussion APAP or BIPAP"That is not impossible, even dust and mites can cause problems, even the mites that are so tiny you can't see them and they live on your body. However, only you yourself can work out if certain food make things worse. It could be…"
Edam replied to Edam's discussion APAP or BIPAP"I am now finding that the pressure the APAP runs at during the night is dependent on what I have eaten that evening.
I have found that if I have bolied rice rather than chips with the evening meal then my 95% pressure can reduce by as much as…"
Kath Hope replied to Lee's discussion DreamWear full face"Hi Lee. Sorry to hear you're still having problems with masks. It's not normal to feel there's not enough air with the DreamWear as that mask usually give people the opposite sensation of feeling more pressure than…"

Sleep2snore replied to SleepyHead's discussion NHS or Private to get diagnosis to determine treatment"How are you getting on, any progress?"
Sleep2snore replied to Edam's discussion APAP or BIPAP"I was not off for a few days.
The results were the same as when I started!
Which I have to say was bad!"
Edam replied to Edam's discussion APAP or BIPAP"It is my understanding that when a new sleep test is required you need to be off CPAP for a few days to get a accurate test. Is this correct
The London hospital does not seem to be aware of this"
SleepyHead replied to SleepyHead's discussion NHS or Private to get diagnosis to determine treatment"Thank you - that is very helpful"
Sleep2snore replied to SleepyHead's discussion NHS or Private to get diagnosis to determine treatment"Private and will not be cheap! London Sleep Clinic (PRIVATE)
