Sleep Apnea...
Doing an at home sleep apnea test later this week.

I am sure there are others here that have done this.

How annoying is the test and how long did it take you to get used to a CPAP if one was prescribed?

I also like to travel and dispersed camp. Any suggestions for battery packs or other accessories once?

I made it a little tighter for tonight. Hopefully the leakage will improve. Comfort is fine.

I was worried about my claustrophobia but since I control the mask, no issues.
Stopping the leakage will help the number of events, too.

I haven't checked my app in probably two years...lol. Just checked, and my average number of events per night is just under 3. About the only time I don't score 100 is whenever I don't get enough sleep. Oddly enough, it's the dog that wakes me up early whenever I let myself stay up too late, and not the kid. My low for the past few months has been a 95.

Where did you start with the number of events per hour before the CPAP?

Today was the first day in over 2 months that I did not fall sleep during the day. Just a huge difference just on Day 1

The CPAP pressure makes it hard to exhale, which makes it feel like your being smothered and that is the #1 reason people don't remain on CPAP. BiPAP has a sensor that reduces pressure during exhale. More $, of course...

Have you tried everything with CPAP. Nasal pillows. Nasal masks, different masks that fit over the mouth/nose?

Less than 1% use BiPap because its usually effort by the individual to get past that feeling of suffocation that everyone deals with at first. The only "real" need for BiPap is if you have heart involvement. Afib, leaky heart valve etc.

My only "complaint" so far is figuring out the humidity. I fill it up to just a bit over the max line. When I wake up all the water is gone but I still have some dry mouth.

I may need a separate humidifier in my bedroom out here in AZ.

Holy cow, that is dry.

Should not be. I didnt have that issue when I was in AZ on vacation. Dont even use that much in the winter here.

Check the device for humidity settings.

Just get a humidifier for for the bedroom. If it is really that dry then your partner will benefit from it as well.

I got this one and it works well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095KGXPW5

It might be the mask. I used to use a Swift FX NP, which had a vent in the front for exhaling. It had a high air flow so it was easy to breathe with but it also would blow air back in your face if on your side and the pillow wasn't adjusted just right. I woke up with some seriously chapped lips a few time before I figured out what was happening.

I have a new mask now (a P20, I think?) and it exhausts through a fine mesh in the front. That diffuses the air so it doesn't blow back at you but it also creates a lot more back pressure. It also clogs easily which can really hinder exhaling. I've had a few nights where I've had to scrub the screen with a toothbrush in the middle of the night because I could barely breathe through it.
