Sleep Apnoea Forum Bringing Help + Support to the Patient
PLEASE USE CPAP EVERYTIME YOU SLEEP
This is a very sad day, as I have learnt that a lovely young 36 year old fellow Sleep Apnoea Sufferer who I used to speak regularly with on Twitter passed away in the early hours of this morning. She was suffering from a stuffy nose and finding CPAP hard to use, so unfortunately left it off last night. Her devastated fiance has asked that I pass on this news to ensure existing sufferers keep safe and use their CPAP every night, and he wants this news passing on to help raise awareness of sleep apnoea to the undiagnosed.
Lisa was a lovely lady and did everything in her own power to raise sleep apnoea awareness. She did the same for arthritis, as her own 8 year old daughter was born with JIA (Junior Idiopathic Arthritis).
Rest In Peace Lisa x

CPAP Total Face Mask
I was curious whether anyone has used the CPAP Total Face Masks and could pass on their observations? I've been using an Airfit F20 for years which is fine apart from the permanent red mark on the bridge of my nose, and have recently tried the…See More

"Hi
It sounds like you need to have more conversations with your sleep clinic. There's little point in having a high pressure if it means you cannot tolerate the machine. There's an interesting video here…"
Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind
HiI'm using the prisma smart max machine. Initially I was just on a nasal mask, this changed as I was sleeping with my mouth open. I then went to face and nose mask and complained of bad wind and belching. Sometimes the pressure in the night was…See More
"Just to tidy this up, I finally had an in-person review by my sleep clinic yesterday, who agreed the ResMed AirSense 10 was "wheezy" and replaced the machine."
"thank you jonathan,i did get the it pack so tried the small and still struggled but i was sat up in bed so will try lying down great suggestion "
"Hi
My first thought is "don't panic"! We're all a bit different, and there are many things that can be tweaked. I took to CPAP therapy like a duck to water, but I've had friends who say they can't cope, but…"
1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test
Hi everyone, today I received my rental kit - prisma smart max, plus a Philips dreamwear mask which I’ve been wearing unconnected to try and get used to it. I just did a mask fit test using a medium mask and got a constant red/orange leak warning…See More

"Ha well it lasted a couple of days but started howling again. But it's a step in the right direction, just needs a bit more work."
"Nope, I just accept that some people's throats tend to close when they sleep, due to a loss of muscle tone during deeper sleep. Back when I was diagnosed, the sleep lab just filmed you whilst you slept, stuck an O2 meter on your finger,…"
"Did anyone tell you exactly what the anatomical issue is, Jonathan?"
"Can't say I know about this."
