What is the best CPAP machine (Quiet one) - Sleep Disorders Message Board

linedoz · 10-30-2003, 07:30 PM

I just saw the specialist and he told me the 2nd test does not show any sleep apnea but I did not sleep very much during the test. But he said I need to pass a overnight test again at the hospital but this time with CPAP machine or maybe a equipment for my Jaw. Apparently it is my Jaw that is the problem with my breathing. He said I have a very hard time breathing this could cause all my symptoms like sleep apnea. I asked him the next time I take the test can I take any sleeping pills, he told it was OK.
I am very discouraged because the health system in Quebec is very slow my next test is only in MARCH 2004, so I called the insurance company to see if the would pay a test in a Private Clinic, they said they would evaluate my file and will give me answer. The problem is that they already paid one test this year and it was 1200.00. I hope they say they can pay because I could get an appointment next week. It's been 3 years and more that I am suffuring from these symptoms.
Need some advice if I have to purchase a CPAP machine what is the best one.

Thanks

I have been using a Resmed S6, from the clinic, This is the one I'm going to by, Hell everybody thinks i'm dead, they don't hear anything anymore

Shop the Internet, I looked at the S7 not worth the extra money

Sweet dreams

I use the Fisher and Paykel HC220 LE series, it is also very quiet! mine has a humidifier built in which is a vital thing to have I think, it really helps and makes all the difference.

Good luck with it all!

They are right on the humidifier, If you get a dry throat during the night, I tried a humidifier with old unit back in 1995, didn't care for it. I drink diet sodas, so everynight I take one to bed, the thicker drink keeps from getting everything so dry

Much luck
