The CPAP machine I have is the Dreamstation. It's set on Flex. The machine pressure is set at 9 on the screen, but I can use the ramp starting at 4. The machine is set to go from 9 to I think 18 for pressure but I notice it averages around 11. I can only use the CPAP for about an hour and a half before I finally give up. During that hour and a half, I can probably nod off to sleep about four to five times, but as I say my breathing wants to go out and the machine hold my breath at idle halfway through my exhaling cycle. when I put to sleep for this very few seconds my breath is very softy so I can understand that, but what do I do. I already told this to the doctor but not really hearing any feedback when I'm in the office other than "try this mask on instead" doesn't matter it's about the pressure not the mask for me. I Just filled this type of sleep remedy is not made for everyone
During sleep study with machine I was unsuccessful, but they gave me one anyway. When I finally start nodding off to sleep my breathing slows down calmly as it usually does, but at thay very moment when I nod off the machine won't let me breathe out because it's trying to force air in, and the force is more powerful coming in than my breathing coming out, so I suddenly wake up. I absolutely can't get to sleep, not one bit. Does anyone else have this problem or any other recommendations. what do you think?
