Hi Nicko! Your kids are darling!! Love your informative and entertaining channel on a subject not talked enough about. I read people are members of a online group u have? Is it on Fb? Also, could u do an yt on tips and tricks on the different ways to tape your mask for a better seal etc? Thank u! 🤩

Great Video. As a CPAP user for over 20 years, I think it is great that you are putting this information out on this channel. One complaint I always have is that you see a Doctor and their staff to get set up originally with using a CPAP machined but then that's basically all the interaction you have until you have a major problem with the machine which could be many years later. Anything to help the spread of proper information is a great but to society. Thank you very much!

[@KayOglesby]

The doctor does not help with getting set up. You practically are on your own getting set up.

[@IndieCindy3]

@@KayOglesby I just depends on the company who supplies the machine to you. I had a very nice young man deliver everything in person and he was also there to show me how to use the machine and all of its different functions.

[@spinck9849]

So, I had the sleep study, cpap therapy was determined as needed, doctor & staff set up ordering the machine and showing me what I needed to know. In my case and I assumed all cases were such as mine, I am required by insurance company to go to my sleep doctor annually for the doctor to obtain the report from my machine on my usage and then send that info to said insurance company. This info provides insurance company with compliance report. If I don't go to the doctor and if he doesn't send that report or the report proves noncompliance, the insurance company is not going to pay for my cpap supplies. I have learned that there are many people who don't go to their sleep doctor for years after beginning cpap therapy and insurance keeps paying on or for their supplies. I really need, use and benefit from cpap therapy. I'll continue seeing my doc as required.

Very interesting video. Thankfully I got my Cpap over 25 years ago. My ex- claimed it added two years to our marriage. I guess I'm lucky because I have not had any problems with my Cpaps over the years. I think I'm on my 4th machine and I never even lie down for a 10 minute nap without strapping on my headgear. I think the last time I checked the meter showed I was 99.2% compliant. The Dr. was impressed. Once recently I forgot the cord when we were going for an overnight trip. I don't think I slept more than 3 or 4 hours. I hear people who don't like them and wish they would give it a better chance. For a lot of people it takes some getting used to. But it is SO well worth it. As you can tell I'm a total fan of this system.

[@omarhouache1483]

I have been using CPAP for about 6 months now and it has helped me a lot. Don't snore anymore and do not have headaches when I wake up in the morning. However, it took me sometime before getting used to it. Now I sleep more than before. I like 👍 my machine ResMed AirSense 10.

Hi guys! I have had many years use of the CPAP, with numerous face masks and machines. I had a problem with the Dry Nose and also nose bleeds last year ( as I am on warfarin for a mechanical heart valve).

No more irritation or nose bleeds.😌

I found out that I have severe obstructive apnea which was the cause of the migraines. I have missed only 2 nights of using my CPAP since I received it over 5 years ago of which those 2 days I had oxygen while in the hospital. I swear by my CPAP, what a life changer!

I actually love my CPAP and take it where ever I go! Thanks to this therapy over the past two years, I no longer nod off during the day, and driving! Driving used to consist of driving for about 20 minutes and then getting drowsy and fighting to stay awake. Or when I was teaching -- during study times or kids working on projects, I'd struggle to stay awake, and especially in boring teacher inservice sessions. Now? No problems at all for hours!! I used to get up 2-3 times a night. But now I sleep a solid 6-8 hours depending on outside noise that might wake me up. CPAP has been a life changer for me.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi there, how exciting! This is a great question. It's different for each individual as there's a lot of different variables to consider such as 1. How severe the apnea is, 2. How long it takes them to get use to sleeping with the therapy. 3. How effective the therapy is at controlling their sleep apnea ( the results ) and many many more factors. From my experience, most people notice some positive improvements within 1 month. Some people notice it after 1 night! Other's take a little longer. It's important to remember however that even if you don't notice a huge difference in how 'you feel' it will still be making a big difference to your overall health and wellbeing.

It takes a while to get used to it. I don't have stomach trouble and I have acid reflux but I don't wake up with bloating in my stomach. I do have some grogginess when waking depending on which side I slept on. This makes it harder to not be sore but other than that I have had no problems sleeping with this setting.

I get very hot when sleeping and cannot stand hot air in my cpap. On the flip side, I hate the dried out feeling when I don't use humidification. I find my best setting is having the humidification on the lowest setting and NOT using a heated hose. My point is you may have to try many different settings to get everything just right. The key is not to give up, you got this!

I use a Resmed AirSense 10 C-Pap machine. Calibrated C-Pap machines (i.e. those set at a specific air pressure based upon sleep study test results, etc.) are older technology.

I have just come across thus site. Keep up the good work I was originally diagnosed with Sleep Aponea many years ago. After initially trying the Nasal prongs I purchased a mouth and nose plate. I also ended up with a humidifier unit hoping that would solve the dryness issues that I was experiencing. I could never get accustomed to the noise of the various machines either. I have restricted air passages which would become wind burnt. Added to the above I would develop reactive Sinusitis. The sinuses also become i flamed when rain is imminent. End result us I have long given up trying to use the machine. I have chronic health issues and some respite would be appreciated. I get very little sleep. Most days it is a struggle to stay awake. If I do get some sleep it is only in short cat naps due to pressure building up in the sinuses or running out of air. Take care, John

Hello. I've been using a CPAP machine (actually a few) for 25 years. I decided very early on that I do not like the heated tube or moisture so I have never used them. I have tried a dozen different masks over time and settled on a comfort pillow style which is minimally invasive to my face. I cannot imagine sleeping without a CPAP now. It does work and you'll get used to it if *you* choose the best gear for you. Most companies will allow you to try on different masks. Just ask and best to you!

@@Upper_left_bred I talked to the specialist who handles my sleep therapy. He said that the goal of surgery is to cut your numbers in half. In terms of AHI, less than 5 is normal. 5 to 15 is mild. 15 to 30 is moderate. And 30 or greater is severe. So, this is what you need to look at when considering surgery. In my case, I'm at 131 without the machine and less than 5 with it. Now if we do a little math, we can see why he didn't think surgery was the best option for me. But I would imagine that if you had an AHI of more like 30, it would be a more attractive option. So, that's the sort of thing you should weigh.

It's a saver! I use it every night and don't have any problems with dryness, although I don't have a humidifier and my nose membranes were dry to begin with and prone to small bleeds. The one I use is called Rinopanteina and contains oat protein, sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, vitamin A and other substances. I never go a night without it.

Although you didn't bring up the issue in this video, the noise of the CPAP machine and the rush of air can be a distracting nuisance and to some a barrier to CPAP therapy. I've found a simple solution in the use of cotton balls in my ears at night. They are commonly sold at drug stores and stores that sell cosmetic and beauty supplies. While cotton balls come in different sizes I find that small or "regular size" cotton balls fit the ears best, as opposed the "jumbo" or large sizes. And because they are a small size they will fit well within the ear canal without having to tear off pieces of cotton to find the right fit when using the large size. I use cotton balls every night and keep a small bowl of them on my right stand. They are easy to pack in a small plastic bag when traveling. Thanks for your channel. Greetings from California.

Some tips I learned from my experience of using CPAP over the years. Do extra holes in your full face mask , so that carbon dioxide goes away completely before taking another breath. Make holes with the smallest drill bits. Otherwise, you'll get a loud sound of flowing air. For dry mouth I'm covering my mouth simply with medical plaster coil micropore 3m. No dry mouth anymore. But with this impossible to breathe over mouth or speak. Good luck!

[@CPAPReviews]

Thanks for the great tips. Probably need to be a little careful drilling holes as the more holes in the mask, the less pressure created which could lead to a reduction in therapy effectiveness. Great tip with the micropore. You can also use somnifix somnifix.com/?rfsn=4845466.71bc6&.71bc6

At least the CPAP is only supposed to be used a maximum of 5 hours per night. Both CPAP and ventilators at hospitals will only let you exhale for about 1.5 seconds, then no matter how hard YOU blow to fully exhale your carbon dioxide, both machines will blow harder and harder, hard enough to prevent you from exhaling longer than 1.5 seconds. On my last sleep clinic to try out using a CPAP machine, I kept waking up every 5 minutes having a nightmare that I couldn't breath, all night. Finally at around 5am I did my breathing exercise, with equal inhales to exhales. I did 4 counts each, and no matter how hard I tried to fully exhale all my carbon dioxide, the machine blew harder and harder, and prevented me from exhaling. I had them turn the machine down to a minimum, I could overcome (while awake). I read a report about research that showed ventilators do the same thing only allowed a 1.5 second exhale. Big inhale, tiny exhale, and they put people on ventilators for 24 hrs a day. 80% of people put on respirators in hospitals die, but they receive $20,000 to $40,000 every time they put someone on a respirator, so are compelled to do so by the hospital. I googled: what would happen on the USS if the scrubbers malfunctioned and stopped removing the carbon dioxide from the air. NASA has it worked out down to the second, how fast all the astronauts would die re-breathing their carbon dioxide, and it's not very long my pretty, not very long at all. The machines are gimmicks to make money, plus the providers of the machines can and do control the machines remotely while you sleep. Search for class action suites about these machines.

@@valerieann8007 I'm glad you said that about the 5 hour limit... I am seriously wondering if your better off or not on these- honestly I don't feel better nor worse... I was having 6 times of not breathing so why is my setting at 16, almost full compasity? Unless its because I have a cyct on my lung?

I already have a BiLevel CPAP machine (BiPAP) and I am watching this because I am getting air in my stomach and waking up burping. This week I did not use my CPAP because I was tired of this but without my CPAP machine I am waking up with bad headaches. My tube is not heated. My machine is a AirCurve 10 VAuto and my mask is a full mask called the AirTouch F20.

My biggest problem was always getting "drowned" by water build up in my tube that would pour into my mask and give me that "drowning" sensation. (Not a pleasant sensation to wake up to.) I solved this, by hanging the middle of my hose as high as it would go and still give me enough room to move around comfortably. This way, any condensation that builds up in the hose (usually builds up in the first half of the hose) and would drip back down into the CPAP machine instead of into my nose! Thanks to the VA, I'm able to order the heated hoses, so I'm definitely going to give those a try, since you stated that they work better. Thanks for the great video and you earned my sub already. (This is the first video I've found from your channel)

Nice one . Thanks for the great tips

Water level too high a little below the top line should be better

Thanks for this useful content. I've been using CPAP for 3 years and recently feel like the air pressure needs adjusting. I feel my lungs are weakening and relying more and more on CPAP.
