Being a vent certified paramedic on an ambulance since 2007. I'm also on cpap. This implant you spoke of I don't know much about. But I see on a daily basis how much the general public has a distrust for the healthcare industry in general. It would take a lot of convincing for me to trust an implant to assist with my respiratory drive. The healthcare industry on numerous occasions has not been forthcoming with the public especially in the area of adverse reactions to different meds and procedures. Keep up with the great vids! Thanks!

[@scowell]

It's not for the drive... it shocks the tongue and keeps it out of the way. Read the horror stories before getting one.

[@rb343]

@@scowell That sounds bad, thanks.

[@cebruthius]

@@scowell I've seen videos of stimulation "test runs" during the surgery. The tongue pops up like it's very happy to see you 😆

[@Iamnotcertain]

Air mattress pump!!!! Amazing budget option for drying CPAP tubing!!! Bought mine for 5 bucks.

[@Marigold106]

Brilliant idea! I have a cheap computer fan with a 3D printed funnel to attach it to the tube. It works like a charm, but an air mattress pump would work right out of the box. Very clever

[@nickmrt2670]

Awesome! Thanks for that tip

[@illt3ck]

A wealth of information shared in this video that I can personally attest to working. Lefty just condensed what would take a new sleep apnea patient 2-3 years to learn into 30 minutes.

[@Freecpapadvice]

I really appreciate that. Thank you!

[@preetimittal2123]

Cpap brings my father's blood sugar high ...when he doesn't use cpap my father's sugar is normal and when he use ....his sugar level borderline high...please make video on this ...please throw some lights on this please i am very disturb...my father is never diabetic

[@brichter4669]

Several years ago, I was so tired all the time, I had trouble staying awake. Not good during business meetings and driving. Went to a sleep doctor and did a home sleep study. My results were awful. He recommended a lab sleep study. The tech hooked me up on my head, legs, arms and chest. He said he would let me sleep for 4 hours, them would wake me and put me on a CPAP. After 3 hours, the tech woke me up and said I wasn't doing well and put me on a CPAP. When he retuned in the morning, he said I did much better on the CPAP. The lab results showed I had severe obstructive sleep apnea with 80 apneas an hour. The sleep doctor put me on the Resmed AirSense10 CPAP with a 5-15 setting and using the Resmed P-10 pillow mask. The first night using the CPAP, I woke up feeling refreshed and felt great. Two years ago, I switched to the AirSense 11. Since the first day of using a CPAP, I have responded well and my apneas are under 0-1 per hour. I switched to the Brevida pillow mask 1½ years ago after watching your video, and my leak rate has plummeted. Most nights, no leak rate is detected on my Resmed report or maybe under a 3. Overall, I'm doing well on CPAP. Sorry to hear you have CVD. Hope you recover soon and get back to feeling normal. Prayers for ya buddy.

[@ClemsonNigel]

Hey Jason, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos and how much it has helped me with my CPAP therapy journey. Been on CPAP now for 2 years and for about the first year and a half, I struggled so much with my therapy but after finding yours and Uncle Niko’s channels about 6 months ago, you both gave me such helpful tips and tricks with everything I’ve been struggling with. My therapy still isn’t perfect by any means and there’s still issues I’m working on, but your channel has saved my life! Watching your channel had me going off the deep end buying and researching every single tool and trick to fixing my leak rates. Thank you!!!’

[@juliek4932]

Hope you start feeling better very soon. Know that you've helped so many of us who struggle/d getting adjusted to cpap. You've filled a huge void that the medical field has left.

[@kathykutchen7207]

I have tried almost all the items you have suggested! You are so helpful! You forgot to mention the cervical collar! Awesome results! I have no sleep apnea on some nights! We bought a new bed, I found a new pillow, a learned how to change my reamed sense 11 and my doctor gave me permission to, I tried the cover stretch tape and it does work, but the collar works even better, a sleep on my side, I use the P10 pillow masks and can handle it, I have been using the CPAP machine since March 2023. Thank you so much! I even used the O2 ring for a period of time and that helped me. And I use the Oscar program! I think that's it!

[@edwardsteiner8086]

Jason-Covid is not gone. Please take care, get well and thank you for sharing all your knowledge and educational lessons. As one of your top supporters-your welcome!

[@Freecpapadvice]

As a top supporter I owe you a "Thank you and Thanks Buddy!"

[@debdruid]

Jason, I have watched probably over 100 of your videos since being diagnosed with sleep apnea in November 2023. You have given so much good advice in your videos that helped me finally adapt to using a PAP machine. Now, since I know so much, from watching your videos on various subjects, I can say this is a wonderful summary and I actually understand almost everything you said!😅 I'm thinking about 85% the way there, and could improve my experience maybe another 10%. Right now I'm taking a rest because it is hard work advocating for yourself in this area. Luckily I got a pretty good doctor after the third try. I plan on downloading OSCAR, getting an O2 Ring and then go out to your site to see about your sleep analysis services. Here's hoping you feel better soon.

[@Dan-dg9pi]

Jason, hope you feel better soon. You are a trooper. Not sure how to interpret the absence of Lego-man. Worrisome. Just get rest and don't try to come back too quickly.

[@43arri]

Thank you and get well.

[@debdruid]

I got a hurricane dryer and I use Mask Bright.

[@ChonkyTonks]

The hurricane dryer is a game changer.

[@davidmulford3828]

Hope you feel better soon. Sorry to say, even after the flu symptoms clear, Covid leaves you feeling pretty exhausted for another week or two. This video delivers a ton of great advice in a very concise way. Thank goodness you and Uncle Niko are putting all this important info out there on the tube. I’ll probably reach out for a consult on the Oscar data in the near future. Get well and go Zags!

[@Freecpapadvice]

Five bucks and a "Go Zags"! Made my day David. Thank you!

[@Doublereeder2]

Yeah, you’re a good guy. I love my Hurricane Dryer! I never worry about my gear not drying in my humid climate. Feel better, man!

[@alfreddiaz9610]

Jason I hope you feel better soon buddy hang in there God bless you

[@maryrollins607]

Hey there. Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling so poorly. Hope you get back to normal soon. Thanks for the PSA. This is what I would have loved to see when I got my diagnosis!!

[@RebelRobot01]

Baby shampoo (including big chain store knock-offs of the big name brand one) is another option for cleaning. It is relatively cheap like dish soap, but, unlike dish soap, doesn't have a de-greaser that will break down silicone. One other thing people should try and convince their doctors to do is to have a titration study. 2 people I know from work who got diagnosed after me were given full face masks and put on auto cpap by the doctor/dme and each failed cpap. I, on the other hand, was given a titration study with a nasal mask after my diagnosis from the home sleep test.

[@akeylawhite9217]

I have CA's in the 15 AHI neighborhood, "doctors" tell me they'll go away with time, and to continue using my CPAP at 7CM. After 3 months of that, I purchase my own ASV off craigslist and with some time tweaking settings, I consistently have an AHI under 1. Showed my "doctor", they still refused to Rx my an ASV, and said patients do better in the long run on CPAP. Also, I'm on Suboxone, which causes CA's. No, things shouldn't be this hard. The ONLY reason I didn't just drop out of CPAP all together is because I had the finances to purchase my own machine and the knowledge to go about researching and setting everything up. The whole thing is a joke otherwise.

[@MsEccentric78]

Thank you so much 😊 This is so helpful! I’m getting my CPAP in 1 week

[@brianerock]

Feel better!

[@jeffs5317]

This video has really resonated with me. I was diagnosed using a "type 3 sleep study" at home. I was diagnosed with mild apnea 8.8, which was my diagnosed events per hour. I was put on cpap, and the first few months were great. Now, for the past 9 months, I've struggled. Mostly keeping the mask on all night. I was basically told when I got my machine to plug it in, turn it on, and don't touch it. Just let it do its thing. I appreciate your honest, no-nonsense videos on this topic.

[@RebelRobot01]

I would consider trying the Bleep Eclipse.

[@beltycat5490]

Good grief- hope you are feeling better soon

[@Katsem]

Sorry you have Covid. I had it for about 8 days. early July. Most nights did not bother with my dreaded bipap machine. Goin on 5 months it’s still not doing me any good. I had two in lab studies, one with therapy. I trust my 02 ring results more than the Resmed report.

[@goodbiehollywood]

Dude, COVID sucks. Even if you’re fully vaccinated and your symptoms are minimized, it still sucks. Get better soon. Definitely rest as much as you can.

[@steveshepard88]

You’re doing gods work lanky lefty. Fortunately I don’t have to bother with the machine or masks anymore for my ridiculously severe obstructive sleep apnea as I am 100% cured of it according to this emergency tracheostomy I had performed on me during a medical emergency where the EMT’s or surgeons or whoever unfortunately had to perform a traumatic intubation on me leading to bilateral vocal fold paralysis leading to the trach so I could breath and stay alive. Fortunately this was not as depressing for me as it otherwise should have been due to the unexpected benefit that it completely cures sleep OSA sleep apnea so long as I have the trach and I was also surprised to find out from my pulmonologist that some people actually seek this out as an elective voluntary procedure rather than having to wear the masks and use the CPAP machine. 😅

[@btlchk]

I love my BiPAP. My only issue is that I have aerophagia, & have tried to get around it, but I'm just a living Macy's balloon. Had my test in a lab in 2018. Am set at 13 & 17. Can't do OSCAR... don't have computer. Am a senior who isn't really great with those anymore. Will be seeing a sleep PA this month & ask about pressures, but I'm scared my good AHIs will take a hit if pressure is lowered. I love the Reddit CPAP community. Get Well Soon!

[@kathykutchen7207]

Oh, get well soon! I"m sick too! I'll be praying to Jesus for you! Again, you have helped me so much!

[@kathykutchen7207]

Oh, I just bought The hurricane dryer too!

[@juliemcmahan1207]

Oh no, Jason! Covid is horrible.. I hope you start feeling better really soon. I use the hurricane dryer based on your recommendation, and I love it! I'm going to download Oscar and have you take a look. I've been meaning to do that, but brain surgery got in the way. Thank you for giving us all this info before your demise! LOL!

[@DianadeAvila]

Just got done with a in-lab study at the VA - I got such little sleep so they couldn't do a split-study as planned. I apparently had some events and am getting a pap machine. I have MS and TBI and feel so sleep deprived. I've had septoplasty and turbinate reduction and don't snore. Hoping to get some symptoms under control.

[@jasonluttrell7797]

My Pillow is good to does not lose its shape.

[@Rob-ob3sh]

I’ve been using cpap for over 20 years and just tired of it as not much has improved in regards to cpap equipment as it’s the same garbage. It’s such a pain to try and get well rested when your sick and can’t breath through your nose and you use a nasal mask, The most important thing you need when recovering from a cold or flu or covid is sleep but cpap is impossible to use when your sick. Funny thing is you said we the user has to figure out things on your own which is 100% true. I always had to go in and get pressure adjustments and my cpap suppler would only do once I get a prescription from the dr and this was ridiculous and one time the person doing the adjustment asked me why am I alway asking for different pressure like I was an annoyance. When I got a bilevel machine it was a like thank God for this feature but the supplier refused to use it and said I needed to use the set pressure and I found out how to adjust it via some KZbin channel LoL I have never had to go back for adjustments because I’m not having little pressure issue anymore if I gain or lose 10 to 15 pounds and my breathing changes the machine adjust for what I need for pressure because the pressure adjust within the range I need.

[@Freecpapadvice]

I'm seeing it for $16. It was $12 a month ago. It goes up and down like that all the time though.

[@jasonluttrell7797]

Vcom all day long.

[@kathrynarnold1966]

I have a problem, no doubt because I'm overweight. I had a home sleep study. They prescribed CPAP. I looked at the cost, read a bunch of reviews, and decided it was going to be more cost and trouble than I could financially or mentally afford. If I were to pursue it, knowing I have Medicare Advantage insurance and am otherwise pretty (very) low in finances... where should I begin?

[@PilotVBall]

I was waking up gasping for air, covered in sweat. I knew that I needed a CPAP. I didn't care how accurate my diagnosis was. A few more numbers are irrelevant. A lab sleep study is cute and dandy but not with these ridiculous deductibles. Modern CPAPs will self titrate. So I opted for the home sleep study. American healthcare, at all levels, desperate needs common sense.

[@TheSteveLeo]

I have a Luna G3 machine and wish that their data was supported by OSCAR. Would love to get a better understanding on how CPAP is working for me.

[@catallergiccat]

I just can not overcome the side effects from CPAP, including bubble mouth (chipmunk face), aerophagia, leaks (even tape my mouth shut), noise, arousals, CPAP introduced CAs .. sometimes, I sleep better without CPAP, feel like my body tries to catch up those missing deep/RAM sleep, although I will most likely chock and wake up due to apnea.

[@yaya50]

Been on CPAP for a year and my AHI was anywhere from 16-25. In June I asked my pulmonologist if I could adjust the pressure. I worke up to a pressure of 20 and now can get the AHI to 6 and sometimes below 5. My problem is my mask. I have the F20 with memory foam. I get about 4 hours with it before it is almost blowing off my face. Adjusting doesn't fix it. Sometimes I will switch out the cushion but most of the time I am too groggy from xanax so I just take it off and sleep another 4 hours. Any suggestions? I hope you get better soon.

[@flying_pig4243]

I got Covid for the first time and started feeling sick July 31st... from August 1 to the 14th I was in bed miserable. Looks like we were both suffering around the same time.... I'm better now but still have some of the 'Covid brain fog'.

[@Freecpapadvice]

Hopefully that's gone away. I still have some underlaying fatigue and this nagging cough. Covid sucks. Hope that you feel 100% soon.

[@flying_pig4243]

@Freecpapadvice Yep, I still have that fatigue too. I'm better and back to work since around the 15th but not 100% My appetite isn't the same either, I lost around 12-ish pounds, which honestly wasn't a bad thing lol... put me back to close where I should be. So, fatigue, brain fog and altered appetite are my biggest after effects. Hope you get back to 100% soon also.

[@ToastAndJellyfish]

Lab studies aren’t really a viable option for anybody who doesn’t meet what society decides is the “normal” sleep schedule, and I will never not be mad about it. Night shift workers, people with DSPS (not having an “acceptable” or “conventional” sleep window), we get substandard diagnostics and care because we’re not 9-to-5 types. I can’t have a lab study because they expect me to go to sleep at 22:00 and wake up around 06:00. I eat dinner at 22:00 and fall asleep around 05:00. My AHI with a home study was below 15, but as nice as a lab study with a tech would be? Not an option because my schedule isn’t acceptable. Sleep labs in hospitals should schedule tests around the clock, to meet patient needs. That’s a hill I’ll probably end up dying on, on account of lab tests during my sleep period not being a thing and being utterly unable to sleep with PAP.

[@buzzie0047]

@20 min. My doctor ignored the OSCAR data. And take your D3. Had the flu bad in 2020, and lasted 3 days.

wish I knew how much the oscar eval is or other things. Already had sleep evals and cpap, but having lots of probs.

[@elizlom]

Hope you are feeling better! I was wondering how you handle Papping when you are very stuffy. I usually use a nasal mask and don't know how I would address a really stuffy head. My sister doesn't use hers when she is sick and I think that may be the worst time not to?

Not sleeping well with it and hate it, or sleeping fine and you just hate it?

[@kCI251]

I have been using a Resmed 11 since March. The P10i seems most tolerable but i only average about 5 hours per night of sleep due to stuffy nose and sinus issues. Thinking I might need to look into surgery options for my deviant (lol) septum.

[@lexinarts]

All my doctor does is gaslight and talk over me. I haven’t been able to get help. I haven’t been able to tolerate CPAP for 3 years now.

[@beefcreeb96]

If one can tolerate high expiratory pressure, is a BIPAP needed to treat UARS? Could a setting of say 10 or 12 with no EPR possibly be effective?

[@Freecpapadvice]

A pressure that low wouldn't be consistent with UARS if it were effective. But no, bilevel isn't needed for UARS in all cases.

[@davidpeterzell789]

How about a "CPAP with COVID" masterclass? (using CPAP while dealing with a respiratory infection). Any words of wisdom? My own thoughts... I guess that this is NOT the time to give up CPAP. During the worst of it, I switched to a full-face mask because I needed to breathe through my mouth. I gargled with mouthwash/betadine (povidone iodine) and used betadine nasal spray before bed to lower the viral load, and I think that helped with the sore throat/dry throat. And I used the same stuff to hyper-sanitize my mask and tube, which was probably overkill. I wore a pulse oximeter with threshold buzzer at 88 to let me know if I was suffocating. 😱 I guess this one's obvious, but I took my CPAP machine to a different room away from my girlfriend (and she didn't catch COVID from me). I've had two mild cases of COVID and I think what I did for PAP therapy helped. Get well soon

[@scowell]

The SnoreMD MAD (40$ at Walmart) is not bad... much cheaper than a dentist device... and it will let you play with advancing your jaw... I found that it gave me 2cm pressure reduction in my CPAP, not really that much... and they're not comfortable. Those sucker things that hold your tongue? Big scam, 40$ wasted... uncomfortable and unusable. Somnodent? The silicone lip seal? Doesn't hold when your cheeks puff... more money wasted. I use CRST tape *with* my Vitera FF mask... helps with jaw drop as well as drooling and mouth-breathing, I'm at Herculean bi-level pressures (21/17) so using FF mask I don't have to do near the tape job, one piece does it... I treat my Vitera as a big nasal mask. I do use medicine to keep my airway clear... fluticasone oral for asthma and Afrin generic for the sinus... there are worse things to be addicted to. Sorry you got the covid, take care of yourself, get vaccinated folks. Never let your doctor talk you into another sleep study, especially if you're Severe... you don't want that torture, get a titration instead, ask for bi-level, they'll do a split night with CPAP and bi-level. Always ask for an Ambien before going in for a study or titration, that helps.
