Wearing a sleep apnea mask?

[Bird]

How many people on CPAP or BiPAP notice fewer trips to bathroom thru the night ? I had a urologist explain the physiology to me but don't ask me to repeat it. I sleep better but my memory wasn't improved any...hhaha.

I haven't seen anyone else mention this, but yep, I'm one. I'd been getting up to go to the bathroom at least once and frequently twice EVERY night, and I still did go once a night the first few nights using the CPAP, but no more for quite awhile now.

Same for me. No more nightly trips. Also, my Acid Reflux is completely gone.

CPAP user for about 8 years here too. I use a nasal mask.

Bird, I will have to agree here. It seems if you wake up in the wee hours of the morning you have to go. Like you, I too don't go anymore before morning. When we get restful sleep it breaks that retched cycle. :thumbsup:

I hadn't thought about that, but I've known, for 40 years, that I have a hiatal hernia and the combination of trapped gas and acid reflux would periodically cause me to wake up with chest pains. I could get up, drink just a little 7-Up or Sprite and burp and that would make the chest pains go away. And I've had none of that since I started using the CPAP.

Just came from changing my full face gel mask. Humidifier full of apple cider vinegar sitting in the sink, as I use well water sometimes and it all runs through limestone. Resmed stuff used to be made in the US, but the printing was very clear on the new mask China. I have had my current machine redone one time by the factory. Next year I plan on having the sleep study redone and see if anything new has come along. If you snore or think you might suffer from sleep apnea I would have It checked out-because you will feel alot better.

Someday we'll read about a hold up where the perp was wearing a sleep apnea mask as a disguise.

Do you have a humidifier with your machine? Mine came with the humidifier adjustment set to "3" and I had some dry mouth problems, so they said to turn it up to "5" and I did. With it turned up that high, all the water will be used up in 8 hours.

So far, at least, I've only used distilled water.
