The hospital say that I need this pressure as my Apnea is getting worse but my AHI is nearly always under 1"

Sleep2snore replied to Chris Vesey's discussion Cure for wind"It is very common for people to get wind in there stomach using CPAP/APAP. As Kath say, at the start it can be quite bad for some people, others are not bothered. In fact the ResMed is less likely to give you this problem, but saying…"
Sleep2snore replied to Edam's discussion Double inhaling"Your machine should not go higher unless you need more pressure.
The machine I have was set at 10 to 20 when I got it and it has never ventured above 12.9.
I have a ResMed 10Auto which I found to be a little better than the Dreamstation. I…"
Edam replied to Edam's discussion Double inhaling"I trialled the Sleepweaver before it came out, I believe I still have it somewhere, but I could not get on with it then. I used a liner on the Dreamwear last night but still was too painful to use and had to change masks during the early hours..…"
Kath Hope replied to Chris Vesey's discussion Cure for wind"This is a common problem Sally, and especially when new to CPAP, irrespective of whatever machines people use. It's definitely not just an Airsense 10 problem.
If you've not clicked on the link I posted above in my reply to Chris…"
Sally Gray replied to Chris Vesey's discussion Cure for wind"Hi, it’s interesting to read Chris’s comment that the AirSense 10 has given him flatulence whereas his previous CPAP wasn’t a problem. I’m new to using a CPAP and have been provided with an AirSense 10 which I’m…"
Kath Hope replied to Bob Blair's discussion So Clean sanitiser"I'm not aware of finance, and we at the Hope2Sleep Charity certainly couldn't offer this unfortunately. However, if you have a Paypal account then you can apply for Paypal Credit which is offered for products over £150 I…"
Kyla Davies replied to Bob Blair's discussion So Clean sanitiser"Hi Kath
In relation to the Soclean do you know if any finance is available to purchase one of these machines? I do not mind spending that amount on one but would be very helpful especially this time of year to purchase one on a finance…"
Kath Hope replied to Bob Blair's discussion So Clean sanitiser"Great to hear this Andy Just as importantly they will help prevent gum disease from dry mouth (plus less dental bills)."
Andy Dykes replied to Bob Blair's discussion So Clean sanitiser"Tried one Xylimelts last night. Best sleep in ages. No waking up with a terrible dry mouth. Very pleased thank you"
Kath Hope replied to Bob Blair's discussion So Clean sanitiser"Thanks for supporting our charity with your order Andy, and they'll be sent out tomorrow. I love the Beaumont Citrus Wipes and have tried all the others, and these are definitely the best. I use them everyday. Hope you find the…"
Andy Dykes replied to Bob Blair's discussion So Clean sanitiser"Have just placed an order for some mask wipes and the mouth discs. Thanks for the recommendation of the discs, fingers crossed."
Kath Hope replied to Bob Blair's discussion So Clean sanitiser"The SoClean will never be supplied by the NHS as they can't afford to give out products like this. We have the SoClean at the charity at the price we've been told it has to be sold for…"
Andy Dykes replied to Bob Blair's discussion So Clean sanitiser"Thank you for quick reply. The advert was on TV again this afternoon with a web address that links to an Amazon site. After a bit of research I have found a UK seller for £245 with 30 day return. Still not convinced so called my Respiratory…"
Sleep2snore replied to Edam's discussion Double inhaling"I am sure they are not, but a lt of people tend to tighten their masks up to tightly.
A lot more than they need to to stop leaks, I was no exception at the start, if it leaked, tighten it more, but this was not the answer. New mask the correct…"
Kath Hope replied to Bob Blair's discussion So Clean sanitiser"I still haven't seen the advert Andy, but lots of people are contacting us about purchasing. First and foremost, whether with the SoClean or not, it is important to keep our equipment cleaned. You're doing the right thing…"
Andy Dykes replied to Bob Blair's discussion So Clean sanitiser"Oh dear. Looks like I'm in trouble!
I have used a CPAP machine for more than 10 years (not the same one) and currently have a Remstar System One SE. Have just seen an advert on TV for the SoClean which got me wondering how often are you…"
