[@expertlaurenray]

Thanks for the helpful tips! As a newbie, I’ve been struggling with discomfort and irritation too. After watching this, I grabbed a few things on Amazon that might make a difference. Also got a tubing clip but wasn’t sure how to set it up, any chance you could show a quick demo? Really appreciate the info! 😊

I ordered a tubing clip, but it doesn't come with instructions on how to place it on the wall or the head board

[@Sleeplayground]

There should be a suction cup to attach to it that allows it to be placed on the headboard, Or the bathroom wall.

I want to order a chin strap for p10 mask Ozzie can you help me and tell me how to read ahi etc. I have dry mouth and told regular big masks were better but sleep on stomach. Thank you for all your help. Linf

Contact your sleep lab to have a chin strap ordered for you if you have DME coverage for your supplies. If you don’t have coverage then Amazon or other online CPAP supply sites. Depending on what you’re buying, you might need a written prescription from your sleep lab to purchase your supplies. If you are having a dry mouth and using the P10 pillows, you should switch to a full face mask. When you open your mouth, all the press goes in your nose and out the mouth… drying you out and this is NOT correcting your sleep apnea. A full face mask WILL correct both of those issues. Stomach sleepers have more challenges to maintain a good mask seal all night but it is possible. Hope this helps. I’m a respiratory therapist at a sleep lab.

Hey Linf! Check out OrderYourSupplies for a good chin strap to pair with your P10 mask; this should help with dry mouth, and remember, AHI shows your apnea events per hour, so the lower, the better! 😊

Strap covers are cool but an adjustment at 3 am would suck

So can having to wear a mask to sleep when you have to go pee all the time..

There are quick disconnects on mostly all mask. I suggest to my patients if needed leave mask on and just disconnect or bend the rubber tubing from mask connection. Come back and connect back to the mask for convenience.
