"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…"

"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…"
"Hi Jonathan, did you do that through PatientKnowsBest?"

Wellu O2 Ring - is it accurate enough for the medics?
Moving some furniture my long lost O2 ring continuous oxygen saturation monitor turned up. So I've been wearing it and it tells me I have loads of saturation drops during the night even though my Airsense 10 says I have very few apneas.So I get two…See More
"Hi,
Just thought I'd give an update. So, I had my appointment with the NHS sleep clinic which was much quicker than I anticipated and I've now had the overnight sleep study. My AHI is now 6, down from over 30, so I'm…"
"Hi Sally from what I read the airsense doesn't suffer the same foam degredation issues as the infamous Phillips machine.I can conceive it's possible that microplastics may be shed from the flexible main tube.What worries me more about the…"
"Hi
My sleep clinic discharged me, saying they were happy I was self-managing. Roll on a decade and the cardiologists taking care of me were very unimpressed and I was re-enrolled. I expect remote monitoring with current generation Resmed…"
"Hi Jonathan,
Thanks again for the info. My cpap *should* be monitored by the NHS though I haven’t had any contact from them since pre-covid. I checked out the link you gave to access extra data and I think that’s going to be…"
"Hi
I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset (APAP). It's monitored remotely by my NHS sleep clinic and I believe they can make changes to the settings. I don't know whether they are notified if I make changes, nor whether they…"
"Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the reply. I'd say that I'm fairly technical. I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Elite machine. I've discovered that I can upload data wirelessly from my machine and having lowered the pressure by…"
"Hi
You don't say how technical you are, or what sort of machine you use. However https://www.sleephq.com/ has software which allows you to upload data from compatible machines, and analyse your sleep "score", including a…"
air bubbles after weight loss

Hi Norman and please don't be nervous on the forum - we have people on here of all ages and we all want to help. It's good that you've been diagnosed with sleep apnoea, and it could well be linked to the other illnesses you have, so hopefully you may see an improvement of them. The mask is the hardest part of our therapy - getting the right one for you!
Try to adjust the mask whilst the CPAP air is blowing at the maximum pressure that's been set on your machine.
There are 2 different Quattro masks. Here's a link to correctly fittting the original onehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeFoOCUuKIE or if you have the Quattro FX, this is the fitting video for this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYC3w-zt1eM
Sometimes people are lucky and find the correct mask for them straight away, but more often it's a case of trying out several. In fact it took me about 5 years to find the one that suits me!
Hope this helps, but your clinic should be willing to give you some others to try if not.
Best Wishes.
Kath
Thank you Kath. I am new to this and being a very elderly gent please excuse any errors made on my part.
I have had a lot of illnesses and now sleep apnea i am having trouble with my resmed Quattro face mask as i move a lot in my sleep and this lets air escape through the mask and the noise wakes me up. i will carry on and hope someday will discover a better mask. I am a bit reluctant to visit the Forum as I am a bit nervous of all you young people,but I will make an effort one of these days.
Best wishes
Norman
