Mine is only adjustable through the Cpap provider and only if prescribed by my doctor. I have an appointment with him next week and we'll have another disscussion about it.
This sounds all well and true however what if the doctor increases your pressures when you tell him your pressures are already too high. I've been on cpap since 2003. Since then I've lost 80 plus pounds and started having dry mouth issues with my nasel mask. I had another sleep study done and my doctor put me on a bipap with my pressures now at 15 and 20. They were at 15. I'm still fighting dry mouth and I've switched to a full face mask. So, what do you do when you think your pressures are too high and the doctor puts you on higher pressures?
SleepyMommy703, any updates? Just curious being that I'm having the same issues. I just purchased the climate hose so I'll let you know if it worked for me.
I was diagnosed back in 2003 and until recently been using a CPAP and had great success with it. Six to eight weeks ago everything changed. Since 2003 I have lost about 80 pounds and started breathing through my mouth causing severe dry mouth. So much so it was causing sinus issues and causing them to bleed through out the night. Doctors thought that my pressures needed to be reduced so another sleep study was performed. It seems that my apnea had gotten worse over time and I'm now borderline severe apnea. I've been put on a BiPap machine and not having great success with it as of yet. It's only been three weeks but I'm still having the dry mouth issues. The BiPap provider hasn't been really helpful simply because I think she doesn't really know what the equipment is cappable of doing. I just purchased a climate hose for my ResMed 10 machine so I'm hoping this will help. Last night I slept with the humidifier on 8/8, full face mask with an additional humidifier for the room and still woke up with cotton mouth. Anyone else having this issue?
