Great Video. As a CPAP user for over 20 years, I think it is great that you are putting this information out on this channel. One complaint I always have is that you see a Doctor and their staff to get set up originally with using a CPAP machined but then that's basically all the interaction you have until you have a major problem with the machine which could be many years later. Anything to help the spread of proper information is a great but to society. Thank you very much!

Just started CPAP therapy and can already feel the huge improvement in my sleep quality. Thank you for this video.

Hey Nick, just found your very informative channel. When I got my CPAP 10 months ago, my GP (not my sleep doc) warned me about the dry nose and recommended using a nose moisturising ointment. It's a saver! I use it every night and don't have any problems with dryness, although I don't have a humidifier and my nose membranes were dry to begin with and prone to small bleeds. The one I use is called Rinopanteina and contains oat protein, sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, vitamin A and other substances. I never go a night without it.

Thanks again for all the great info, so glad I found your channel is a new CPAP user

I’ve been on CPAP therapy for 1 year. What fantastic treatment. I feel so much better and now know how you should feel after sleep.

Thanks for the video! I've been on CPAP for many years now and when I go without it I notice IMMEDIATELY. Love my CPAP. I have noticed the side effects but never really considered them side effects. All those side effects are valid.

I actually love my CPAP and take it where ever I go! Thanks to this therapy over the past two years, I no longer nod off during the day, and driving! Driving used to consist of driving for about 20 minutes and then getting drowsy and fighting to stay awake. Or when I was teaching -- during study times or kids working on projects, I'd struggle to stay awake, and especially in boring teacher inservice sessions. Now? No problems at all for hours!! I used to get up 2-3 times a night. But now I sleep a solid 6-8 hours depending on outside noise that might wake me up. CPAP has been a life changer for me.

Very interesting video. Thankfully I got my Cpap over 25 years ago. My ex- claimed it added two years to our marriage. I guess I'm lucky because I have not had any problems with my Cpaps over the years. I think I'm on my 4th machine and I never even lie down for a 10 minute nap without strapping on my headgear. I think the last time I checked the meter showed I was 99.2% compliant. The Dr. was impressed. Once recently I forgot the cord when we were going for an overnight trip. I don't think I slept more than 3 or 4 hours. I hear people who don't like them and wish they would give it a better chance. For a lot of people it takes some getting used to. But it is SO well worth it. As you can tell I'm a total fan of this system.

I’m new to cpap and love this community you have as a KZread channel. Love videos like these. I always learn something new

I had tremendous gut problems with air getting into my stomach... I use a ResMed mask that covers my mouth and under my nose. I was dropping my jaw and heaps of leaking and the machine increased the pressure, so more air into my stomach... I now wear a soft "Foam Cervical Collar" that prevents me dropping my jaw.... Now my leakage is low and my AHIs are usually under 1.0. Using this has changed my life.... No more swollen gut... No more severe dirorea... Gaining weight...

Thanks for the Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Franaar Magic Dream Formula (do a search on google)? It is a good one of a kind product for eradicating sleep apnea and snoring minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my close friend Aubrey got great results with it.

I was diagnosed at 60+ events which was very shocking. I took a while to adjust to my cap but now I couldn't live without it. I believe that the mask is the key to success. The correct and well fitted mask for you is imperative. A good travel machine is worth investing in too.

I love/hate the cpap. It makes my mouth dry, nose dry, red eyes, nightmares, reflux that I never had beforehand. I let myself go in 2020, went all the way to 320. Got diagnosed with sleep apnea and I've hated it from day 1. I'm down to 235. I'm striving to reach 190 and get the hell off this machine for good.

Thanks for this info Nick. As always, love it when the kiddos are included. It teaches them valuable lessons they don’t learn in school. The kids always bring a smile. This video will hopefully keep others from panicking when their S9, S10, etc. reach that “magic” number. I understand why the manufacturers do it but don’t like their tactics when making an inquiry. It is appalling how ResMed (and I’m sure others) respond by trying to sell a new unit or to charge something exorbitant for repair. I recall taking my Audi to the dealership for some repairs and 48 hours later I receive a text from the dealership wanting to take my car in trade-in and to put me in a brand new Audi. Hell, if I wanted a new one I would have bought one. Same goes for our CPAP devices.

Hi guys! I have had many years use of the CPAP, with numerous face masks and machines. I had a problem with the Dry Nose and also nose bleeds last year ( as I am on warfarin for a mechanical heart valve).

No more irritation or nose bleeds.😌

I have just come across thus site. Keep up the good work I was originally diagnosed with Sleep Aponea many years ago. After initially trying the Nasal prongs I purchased a mouth and nose plate. I also ended up with a humidifier unit hoping that would solve the dryness issues that I was experiencing. I could never get accustomed to the noise of the various machines either. I have restricted air passages which would become wind burnt. Added to the above I would develop reactive Sinusitis. The sinuses also become i flamed when rain is imminent. End result us I have long given up trying to use the machine. I have chronic health issues and some respite would be appreciated. I get very little sleep. Most days it is a struggle to stay awake. If I do get some sleep it is only in short cat naps due to pressure building up in the sinuses or running out of air. Take care, John

I have had a BIPAP ResMed for over 20 years. I use a heated tube, with heated tub for water and have no issues with dryness. My BIPAP ResMed has been a life saver. I get good night sleep all the time. One little trick I found was to take the tube and push it up over my pillow and then tuck in in between the pillow and head board. That way when I move often, it doesn’t interfere with my movement.

Hi Guys, i need your help. One of the big cpap manufacturers is trying to take down the CPAP Reviews channel. Who knows what the next few days will bring. I know many of you don't like Facebook so here's a link to my newsletter. I will not spam you but will let you know where you can find me. Newsletter - eepurl.com/hz1ffH If you do wish to join the private FB group which is a bit more personable i feel then here's the link to that. FB Group - facebook.com/groups/138127984943408 You are also helping by subscribing to the channel (even though it will probably go under) and liking / sharing the vid on your fb groups / forums / reddit / twitter etc If you are a passionate person and want to stand behind me and our cpap reviews community then you can send them an email. Nothing nasty, just support emails please - reception.sydney@resmed.com.au I have created a shared dropbox folder with modified versions of the original vids and removed any 'copyright'. Here's the link and i will be adding to the folder. www.dropbox.com/sh/oxxyzmdzr9zya98/AACodFbQ1A8mBoagV3omg75ea?dl=0 I'm honestly exhausted. It's a very difficult time here in Melbourne with another lockdown and the whole family is just super flat. I'm not sure what the future holds but hopefully we can continue this journey together. Stay safe and look out for one another as i know you all will. Nick

Great video Nick and thanks for helping solve one of the problems I’ve been having with my CPAP therapy. I’ve been getting bloating and stomach pain which the Dr kept saying was reflux, and I’ve been on medication that hasn’t helped one bit. After watching your video I decided to try lowering my pressure from 10 down to 9…it did help but I was still waking up with stomach pains. I dropped the pressure to 8 and my AHI was still well below 5 so dropped it down to 7….that’s when my AHI began going up, but still under 5…so I tried 7.5 which is perfect. No more bloating or stomach pain. Many thanks.

@@vickibowers03 Since no one else has answered I'll post a reply to your question. I have the ResMed brand CPAP machine and it doesn't have the flex option to reduce the amount of pressure. Mine is at 17 because I stopped breathing 72 times an hour! I had to adjust the machine at first but once set there's no readjusting it again. This is something that your doctor will have to do. It takes a while to get used to it. I don't have stomach trouble and I have acid reflux but I don't wake up with bloating in my stomach. I do have some grogginess when waking depending on which side I slept on. This makes it harder to not be sore but other than that I have had no problems sleeping with this setting. Just ask your doctor about it. Maybe she/he can decide which is the best course of action to take.

I just got my machine this week and these videos are very instructional

I use the small. Things just for the nose as I am claustrophobic Also I use. Sleep. Silicone earplugs. So I hear nothing

I’m tuning in for the first time. Last night, I used the Cpap machine for the very first time and I’m disappointed i was only able to tolerate it for a little over one hour. It doesn’t help that I am coughing which is related to my blood pressure medication. I’m thinking of stop taking b/;p medication to stop the coughing and build up tolerance to cpap therapy. I appreciate you sharing everything you know about this and the suggestions.

Thank you for the explanation

Hello. I've been using a CPAP machine (actually a few) for 25 years. I decided very early on that I do not like the heated tube or moisture so I have never used them. I have tried a dozen different masks over time and settled on a comfort pillow style which is minimally invasive to my face. I cannot imagine sleeping without a CPAP now. It does work and you'll get used to it if *you* choose the best gear for you. Most companies will allow you to try on different masks. Just ask and best to you!

I get very hot when sleeping and cannot stand hot air in my cpap. On the flip side, I hate the dried out feeling when I don't use humidification. I find my best setting is having the humidification on the lowest setting and NOT using a heated hose. My point is you may have to try many different settings to get everything just right. The key is not to give up, you got this!

I got tired of the leaking and humidity issues, so I removed my right lung and installed the CPAP directly inside of myself. I've never slept better.

I've never heard of a heated hose. My machine heats the water in the reservoir before it is delivered. I live the tip about letting the machine warm up before use. It will also be at the correct pressure. My machine starts out low and builds up pressure slowly.

@redhatbear1135

2 жыл бұрын

The length of the and a cool room temp can make a heated hose more pleasant. I find I use less water because it doesn’t have to be so hot to heat the hose!

I’ve had a real struggle with using my cpap, it’s set up so it breathes with me, not continuous pressure and that helped but was still a struggle since I’m really claustrophobic. I’ve also not found a good fitting mask that didn’t leak unless I have it pulled uncomfortably tight and it then pinches the top of my nose and makes it hard to breath. I actually made it through the last 32 days with continuous use. As a result my sugar level is much more stable. It’s amazing all the health issues that stem fro sleep apnea. I have complex apnea, both central and obstructive.

Amazing video

The biggest side effect for me is when I get the mask adjusted so there are no leaks, and then lay down, the pillow tends to push the mask making it leak. I also turn a few times during the night, which again pushes the mask causing leaks.
