Hi dave , i have the same experience as you "left to get on with it".I am on my 4th or 5th mask now and still find i cant sleep all night with it on, i was having  60 apneas an hour when first tested. Ihave been given results from cpap machine once, so i currently dont know how many apneas an hour i am getting now. Last visit i was given another mask to try and was out the door in 10 minutes, not a very good experience mate.

"You don't mention whether you have a humidifier on your CPAP machine.  I think that would help a lot."

Jonathan replied to John's discussion Wellu O2 Ring - is it accurate enough for the medics?
"Hi The SleepCube was a private purchase, as way back then my local sleep clinic assessed patients by filming them overnight, whilst wearing an oximeter, and only issued CPAP machines without humidifiers.  There was no remote monitoring and…"

John replied to John's discussion Wellu O2 Ring - is it accurate enough for the medics?
"Yeah I was wondering about email address. I thought probably if they wanted me to mail them they would have given out an address. I can imagine heart data is considered more acute than sleep data, so it would make more sense to have that…"

"Hi. I didn't use PatientsKnowBest (ironic name), but I have an email address for my heart department for sending in ECGs.  I was just saying that they may be able to review a PDF when then cannot review a data file from your O2 ring. I am…"
