Just diagnosed

Posted by Rob-Florida on September 25, 2001 at 17:06:14:

I have been reading the fourms for the last three weeks. There has been alot of very useful info. According to my sleep studies I have severe sleep apnea having stopped breathing 40 times an hour and a total of 90 arousals in a 7 hour period. I have been given a bipap machine with pressures set at 15 and 11. The machine is Respironics Duet LX. The mask is Respironics delux contour with headgear and chin strap. Tonight will be my first night with the setup. Any feed back on this particular machine and mask would be helpful
