Resist We Much
a bi pap machine may have been a better choice..when you try to inhale it blows at you high setting and then reverts back to the low setting as you exhale and until you inhale again..i think mine is set at 22/12..mine made a world of difference..i was falling asleep everywhere (driving included) before..been almost 5 years..
Hey Gidge! Glad it worked well for you. I look forward to the same once the kinks are worked out.
I don't think I really had a choice as to what machine they offered me. With mine, it was at times acting like it wanted to pace with my breathing, but it seems so unnatural to in turn try to pace with it. If I swallow, or relax between breaths, whatever, things get out of sync. Before I knew it, it was blowing air, constantly I suppose. Given that I was not approved for an onsite sleep test at a facility, I did a home monitor test, nobody actually tested to see a customized airflow setting. Mine is set to automatic. I may have to experiment with the settings on my own.
Given that it was set to auto, plug-n-play, I have yet to read the literature. Typically I prefer a bit of hands-on before reading literature with a new unfamiliar item. I will do so now. Perhaps I will turn off auto and try something different. I'm not sure from whom I would ask advice, i've dealt with three separate entities in getting this thing. At this point i'm just hoping the machine isn't a lemon.
