Ernie Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hi everyone,I got my CPAP machine last week and I feel that it is helping me with my muscle wekness. I have the feeling that the setting should be higher but I don't know how to figure it out. I was wondering if any of you know when the pressure is high enough to push all the air that I need? Thanks Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miriam Poorman-Knox Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 When I got mine it was set at a trial rate. I called the Dr. and they then told me how to adjust it gradually to help me better. Don't need it anymore. Luck Miriam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Julia59 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Ernie,I'm glad to hear the CPAP machine is helpful. Unfortunately I don't know much more about them other then I was supposed to try one on the second sleep study, but I can't seem to complete the first...... I just wanted to let you know i'm happy for you that it helps you feel better.Julie :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
