to add to my post just added. I have my pressure set at 11-13, and may have to turn it down in order for me to keep the mask on all night. I am finding the mask more comfortable each time I wear it. I know it's going to help me breathe at night, and not breathing is too scary for me. As far as learning more, I would like to know more about the abbreviations that are used on the machine, that will help me a lot.
I have been using my C-PAP now since 12/31. I am still taking the mask off during the night. I put it next to my pillow, or hang it by the strap on the end of my night stand. I am getting more hours per night. I may need to turn the pressure down. I am using my sister's and it is a BIPAP
I have had my CPAP machine since 12/31/14. I am still getting used to it. I find myself taking it off in the middle of the night and turning off my machine when I am sound asleep. Another bad habit I have had, is when I can't fall asleep right away, and it is 12:15 or 12:30 and I am still not asleep, I take it off and sleep without it. I need to stop that, but it's been difficult. I know it has been good for me being on my CPAP machine, I can tell the difference in my energy and in my alertness. When I was taking the sleep study, and it was the 2nd night, I slept all the way thru the night. I had the little nasal pillows that were square, like a pillow. I have the other one now, and it has taken a little getting used to. I use the smallest one they make. I'm open for suggestions. Thanks!!
