SLEEP APNEA - CPAP'N

MY STRUGGLE USING A CPAP MACHINE

MASK-LEAKS, LEAKS & MORE LEAKS

MY ResMed 10 AUTOSET CPAP MACHINE

MY TITRATION SLEEP STUDY Showed me one thing, but when I got my CPAP machine home it was a whole different world.

I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MODERATE SLEEP APNEA. Then I did a CPAP Titration Sleep Study to find out how much pressure my machine would need.

I though this was going to be a PIECE OF CAKE for me - WRONG!

Little did I realize there are a lot of gotcha events that can happen. I soon found that getting a suitable durable medical supplier was becoming a nightmare.

AT THAT POINT, I believed if my cpap were a boat it would've sunk long-ago.

However, I was determined to make it work for me. I already tried a ResMed 10 AirSense and a ResMed 11 - Which I despised. So, I tried a ResMed 10 AUTOSET. Bingo! I really like it because it adjusts the pressure automatically.

BOTTOM LINE: It is important for me to keep after it and learn more about cpap machines.

It was not fun to wake up in the morning and go to the ER with a Blood pressure of 171/111 @ 56 beats per minute. It was a very scary experience. My head was in deep vertigo and I could hardly walk.

( I did not drive to the hospital! An Ambulance took me there.)

I AM NOW A BELIEVER IN CPAP MACHINES!
