oxygen
Hello everyone. I've not been on here for a while. I am not doing well at all with my philips resiponics bi pap auto. I feel like I'm going to suffocate and that, in turn, causes panic attacks. Does anyone use oxygen therapy with their machines. I am getting very dispondant. I feel constantly worn out. Not to sleepy just worn out. Any help or advice would be great.
Kind regards. Carolyn.

how long have you been on treatment
maybe it is just now catching up with you and maybe that the treatment is working and just needs time

I have been back on treatment, after giving up a few years ago. Nothing seems to be working. I've had a c pap machine and that was changed to a bi pap auto, which is much more comfortable. However I am still getting ahi's in the high teens and I pull the mask off when asleep. I feel totallt exhausted all of the time. Not sleepy but really exhausted. Any idea's?

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

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
