The Resmed Aircurve and Airsense devices all work on spontaneous breathing to trigger IPAP or cycle to EPAP. They are controlled by and follow your own breathing initiatives. What you describe is impossible and the answer to what actually happened can likely be visualized by looking closely at the flow rate (respiration) and mask pressure (device pressure) charts and seeing what happened. Most cases of what you describe have resulted from anxiety resulting from a positional apnea, and can be resolved by calmly realizing you can breathe and reset  yourself and the device with a purposeful breath.  This will result in an arousal, but the feeling of being choked is due to an adrenaline rush or a panic reaction.  Keep in mind that 10 cm-H2O is only 0.14 psi. That cannot stop your breathing or choke you.  For perspective, the atmospheric pressure at sea level is  14.696 psi (760 mm Hg).

Abdulfakih, just click on the small green box and the very bottom right hand corner, "New Reply"    -    It will give you a brand new blank box to type in with no quotes.  You can summarize any quotes or just use " " quotation marks in what you write to show that it is quoted if you want to as well.

There is a botton that says quote multiple posts. It is turned on all the time and when i turn it off it turns on automatically without me doing anything. It looks like it is bugged. I have tried to turn it off manually but everytime i hit reply it automatically quotes the same message from sleep rider...

Google chrome

Try any other browser. Google Chrome often stores the previous response in the quick reply box. It is a problem on this site that I have always seen with Google Chrome, but not with Firefox or other browsers. I'm on Google Chrome now using the quick reply, but I first had to manually delete my last response.

It looks like it solves the issue on other web browsers

Hello guys, good morning to all.

This is my current situation;

I have decided this week to pause cpap for the reason that I was not sleeping at all and it was affecting my performance at work. I said to myself if i continue to work like this im gonna get fired... I know I have to adapt my body to it, but perhaps until I get used to it, i can limit it to the weekends?

I know I need cpap, today I wokeup with a storng headache even tho i sleep 1 hour of deep sleep. I know i need it because I move a lot when i sleep, and i have apneas when i am not sleeping on my side. I know for a fact because I alwasy wakeup sleeping in other positions.

Today friday I can resume my treatment without any consequences for tomorrow. Having said that, what are the settings I should use? I have turned the antibacterial filter off and placed trigger in very high again. What about the other settings?

[Sleeprider]

I don't know the prescription situation in VZ, but if you have access to an oxygen generator, and canula, it might resolve most of your problems with headache. It does not do anything for apnea, but can keep blood oxygen levels higher.

I havent done any research on oxygen machines, to be honest i thought that was what cpap was for lol. Is my problem lack of oxygen when I sleep? if so, why do I have oxygen problems?
