50 and 18
Yes I live in high altitude doc wasn’t too concerned with those numbersNo change for me. Those numbers are not that bad. Do you live at higher altitude?
I sleep like a baby with CPAP, and that includes the face mask and lower jaw adjuster I use to further open my airway.
Not discounting anybody's concerns because they are valid. But if you can get used to it, it's a game changer.
Yeah scary I’m little worried about feeling claustrophobic. But willing to do it and understand may take some time to get use to it.I was just fitted for a CPAP myself but man it is going to take some getting used to. I've never had any claustrophobic feelings before but putting a mask over my face to sleep freaks me out man!
Which is weird because I've been through plenty of CBRN training with gas masks and never had an issue. But sleeping with something covering my mouth and nose hasn't been fun the last few nights. I'm hoping a different mask or time will improve things. I can't remember the last time I slept through a night without waking up time and time again for years now.
1 episode had me wake up gasping / choking for air. That's when I finally went to the doc (after my wife pleaded with me).

I have and use my cpap every night. It’s made a huge difference in my quality of life, mood, and attitude. I take it with my on vacations and everything.
This. Quality of sleep is 1000% better. Took me about a month to get used to it though.
I had the same issue...no magic sleep for me either. BummerI started with the Cpap machine 2 months ago. It has been the hardest thing for me to get comfortable with. I haven’t had a night yet that I’ve made it through without waking up. I use it everyday, the app tracks the time I use it and it Varys some nights 1hr others 2.5. I wish I could get the magical asleep you guys talk about.
I just swapped masks at a fitting today for a full face mask. While it might be slightly larger, sealing and breathing were 10 times better. Hoping for a better result and good night sleep tonight.
I'll report back tomorrow...fingers crossed
Thanks...I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Auto. Sounds like the same unit. The climate control is a nice feature if you get the right hose attachment to utilize that feature.Fingers crossed! Hope it works out for you. I ended up ordering the full mask since I tend to breath through my mouth. The machine I order is the resmed airsense auto. I have heard many good reviews.
What’s the best way to clean these things? A buddy was telling me something about a machine called so-clean, he puts it in every morning by his bedside?
I’m expecting mine to be delivered this week.
