<p>Hi Andy, don't get to hung up on numbers, it is more how you feel that coults, though DVLA don't think so.</p>
<p>Small tweaks in your pressure and getting used to the machine and mask will bring it down.</p>
<p>It is not normal to have a machine blowing air at you all the time and have an alien on your face all night, so it will take you a while to get used to it. More important is to keep using it and get used to it, then after a while you can get your numbers down a bit, though if you…</p>

<p>Hi Kath,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm hoping the next few nights will see me get my AHI down further, but i'm also keen not to put too much pressure on the situation.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have to say i'm very impressed with the Hope2Sleep service so far, with regular updates regarding my order! Thank you for the prompt part despatch and the update regarding the cream. I have dealt with UK Customs in a previous job and distinctly remember it being extremely tedious!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Ah yes, it's funny you…</p>

<p></p>
<p>Ah yes, it's funny you should say that as I did struggle with the hose hooked over the headboard last night and almost felt scared to move as I almost pulled the mask off when I rolled over at one point!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks again for the support!</p>

That's a good first night and sounding positive already. You may find your AHI comes down over the next few nights. Ideally we're looking for it to be up to 5 which is classed as 'normal.' </p>
<p>Your other goods will be despatched, but there will be a short delay on the popular CPAP Cream as it's currently in UK Customs and it's like watching paint dry as we await it's release.</p>
<p>One of the products our charity sell is the CPAP Hose Lift, and if only the NHS could supply it then it would help so many people as it prevents the tugging of the mask on the face which causes leaks. With you being new to CPAP, take a look at this link on our website as there are tips for most hiccups we come across <a href="https://www.hope2sleep.co.uk/tips-for-problems-sleeping-with-cpap-or-niv.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.hope2sleep.co.uk/tips-for-problems-sleeping-with-cpap-o...</a> and most can be easily fixed.</p>
