RE: Added O2 and Wow!
Based on your profile, I think we assumed you are in South Florida. Ship one from the States?
RE: Added O2 and Wow!
I actually have some "close" friends that travel the world and base out of the Keys. They are currently on the road. It makes it nice when I need a warm place to go stay a while.
RE: Added O2 and Wow!
I managed to find an O2 Concentrator and I have another one being shipped with a ResMed Aircurve 10 ASV. I'm looking forward to it.
What a difference.... I don't know how I managed to cope with this for years. I knew I had an issue but I didn't know where to look for resolution as every doctor told me that I am healthy. It fits perfectly, but my symptoms really pointed me towards PTSD or neurological issues. My tremors returned after only two nights without oxygen.
RE: Added O2 and Wow!
No question just an update:
Just received my ResMed Aircurve 10 ASV. I'm just getting it setup and I've been using it for a 30 minutes trying to get use to it. I did my forget to breath thing and the machine cranked the pressure until I took a breath. I can't wait to sleep with it.
RE: Added O2 and Wow!
What are the settings on the ASV just checking you were setup correctly really
RE: Added O2 and Wow!
I would guess more PS than 8 is required an ASV takes time getting used to when it blows at you blow back and it will back off an ASV is an active machine and will try and even up your breathing by providing additional pressure on a breath by breath basis. The additional pressure from the ASV can cause mouth breathing s that may be why you feel dry this morning and high leaks.
RE: Added O2 and Wow!
Slept better last night and don't remember getting "blasted" with pressure. Leakage was way down as well, but my mask was too tight so I'll need to loosen the head gear a little. Small headache; not as dry. Better.
AHI was down to 1.2/hour.
I'll consider moving PS 8 upward as I become more comfortable to the machine.
