Default Holy Cow!

It was like being in a wind tunnel with my CPAP last night!!!

I couldn't exhale and I couldn't even close my mouth!

A man came by to check it today. Turns out it was supposed to be set at a comfortable "11", but it was clear up to 20! I'm surprised my eyeballs didn't pop outta my head!

I'm been having to really tighten the straps to get through the night lately, so this will be a nice change. I get to use a loaner CPAP for a couple of weeks.

Just a heads-up in case you're experiencing something similar. Sweet dreams!

Once in a while I wake myself up with my snoring

I've given that CPAP lots of thought but no investigation.

I hope you have a good couple of weeks and and even beeter sleep when your own machine is returned.

Thanks for the well-wishes, Wren and BMW.

I mainly posted so other CPAP users would know when to get a machine checked out.


Wren, you really should follow through and get a sleep study done! Just sayin!
