I must be one of the lucky ones. I had absolutely zero issue from the very first night with my cpap machine. I slept well, felt so much better from day one. Cannot imagine going to sleep without it. Absolutely zero issue from me.
I started in June last year. It was a very rocky start but now I get a 100 score on the MyAir app most of the time. I still have problems with managing too dry / too wet, but I recently started adjusting my humidity level, 1up or 1down, every night, depending on the humidity level in my room. I don't have central air or airtight windows, so I'm at the mercy of the Hawaiian weather.
Me too, no issues and I really love that I can put pillows over my head to drown out house noise so I don’t startle awake. I also don’t mouth breath during the day because it seems it retrained me to use my nose❤. My brother had a totally different experience however and hardly uses his.
Lucky you, I only have mild mixed apnea but cpap doesn’t do anything. But I’m so so tired as if I had severe apnea. I’m told that the CPAP could be causing central sleep apnea, supposed to be helping me but could be making me worse. I’m booked into have a series of tests at the sleep clinic to find out what’s wrong with me. As the consultant is baffled. I just want to feel well and less tired
For me…I’m just glad I have a cpap that helps me sleep at night. I can live with the tightness of straps and tubes and the noise because without all of this I would be dead now. So you won’t ever hear me complain about the machine that saved my life!
I love my nasal cushion C Pap. I use tape to cover my mouth and have no air leaks. When I put that baby on , I feel like the God's have given me breath itself. I love the gentle sound it makes when I breath in. It's almost like meditation. Thanks for this video. Who knew that one day my you tube subscriptions would include a sleep apnea channel. Cheers from Northern Canada.
Been on CPAP for nine and a half years. Only missed 5 nights during that time. (Normally when at a dinner party, had a few drinks and decided to stay the night ... lol ) Started with Resmed S9, now using the Air Mini. Right from the start I've used the Airfit P10 nasal pillows. It's a piece of cake and about as unobtrusive as you can get. I put off getting tested for years because I couldn't stand the thought of wearing a mask to bed but when the doctor said "you're going to go to bed one night and not wake up .... EVER" I kind of knew I HAD to do it. And the nasal pillow mask is so easy to wear. The whole experience changed my life from Night One and due to the possible dire outcome if I didn't use CPAP, I went into it with two major thoughts .... #1. I HAVE to do it .... and #2 ... I'm going to have a POSITIVE ATTITUDE and make it work, no matter what. I think this is MOST important. Have a positive attitude to make it work. If you have problems with a full face mask, try a nasal pillow mask. Here in Australia we can rent them so it's possible to try one out. Can't speak for your part of the world but worth investigating.
In the US, we have a 30 day trial of any mask we buy. If it doesnt work out, we can return and try another, and another, and another. 😉 I started with nasal pillows. I am getting ready to try the Philips Resperonics under the nose nasal mask. It has a less stretchy strap than the P 10 air pillows. That mask ends up off my head half of the time. The doc tells me to sleep on my side. It only stays in place if I sleep on my back. But, I stop breathing more on my back. Sigh!! We will figure it out. 🤔
@@beerich2117 Good Luck. I'm sure you'll find the right combination in the end. I'm a side sleeper and have never had a problem with the P10 coming off, which is backed up by all my numbers which are excellent.
I have a vortex cannon like that. It is called the Airzooka it is a lot of fun to freak people out from 10 meters away. I use if on halloween night. My dog likes it even more. He gets so excited when I get it out.
Does that technology come with the price of noise. I don’t think my wife nor I would sleep well with a set of cone headphones and shots ringing out. POW,💥 😂
It's nice to see the passion and excitement these inventors have for their success. I wonder if it'll make a difference. Thanks for the information. Happy Birthday 1 yr old. 😊
I thank all the guys who come online and teach us about new masks, tubes, airflow, and all the things we would not know otherwise. I used to wear a mouth device until the dentist pulled my anchor teeth. 😥 I just loved the TAP device b/c I have extreme claustrophobia. I have been learning to use the cpap machine since Nov 23. It has been much trial and error. My 0xygen goes really low, then my pulse. So they blast me with more air. I am thankful for the people who spend years inventing a device that is usable and quiet so it doesnt wake my husband. I already feel weird with all the straps and tubes coming from my head. I would feel REALLY bad keeping him awake with rushing air noises.🙄 At least, I can finally get sleep myself. Thanks for the time you put in making your videos.😍
I have the pressures and tidal volume in my bipap dialed in so well I can't wait to put it on and if I've pushed my cardio hard that day it helps breathing even when awake to where I enjoy putting it on before I'm even even ready to sleep.
Bless you. I hate wearing mine sooooo much that I dread going to bed. I stay up until I know I absolutely need to sleep if I want to function the next day. I try to get to sleep by midnite, but I am forcing myself. Sometimes it is 2 or 3 am before I get the gumption to put on that stinkin mask. Ugh!! I am 70 yrs old. This torture is sometimes too much. I wish I could feel like you people do. I have severe claustrophobia and hate the chin strap and mask. Too much on my face. 😬
Thanks to your tips and tricks, I’ve adjusted the pressure way down to 4, carefully, from prescribed 11. I sleep great. AHI always 0.something. S9 and AirMini. I picture Uncle Nicko’s face as I fall asleep. Even that doesn’t keep me awake.
If there was a way to incorporate an adhesive strip over the bridge of the nose, they could potentially get rid of the need for the straps around the ears.
Thanks for the video on this new CPAP tech! I've been on CPAP for around 4 years and greatly dislike it even though my AHI is generally below 1. I'm glad new tech is on the horizon. Any chance that you'll release Part 2 to the general public? I don't have a need for the SleepHQ Pro, but I am a subscriber to your UA-cam channel. Thanks!
You cant put straps behind the ears as during the night it will start to ache, then in the morning the pain behind the ears will be shocking!behind the head straps will be much more comfortable. Thanks for this update buddy!
LOL. 🙋♀️ It's me. Hi. I'm your single person extremely happy to strap on my headgear and use my cpap every single solitary night. I feel so gawd awful if I ever try to sleep without it (like when the power is off for some reason) and can literally end up in the hospital so my brain is more than best pleased to use/wear/hear it. Thanks for acknowledging that fact. 😉
It’s always great to see new inventions and ideas being created, that said only issue I see here is what happens if you are a mouth sleeper? This is a tape your mouth shut mask only.
i am that one, i love going to bed and putting that machine on, resmed 10, i sleep 9 to 11 hours a night, i have a hundred percent usage, i was having 99 episodes an hour, i was unaware until i drove off the road once, and i fell head first onto the floor twice in the night, it woke me up and i still have no idea what i was doing, either sitting or walking. i feel awesome now
I actually really like my CPAP and find it comforting. I'm fortunate. I think the more options the better. Complaince for me comes from a) my apnea being very mild and B) constant cleaning. It's just a pain. But I use it far more often than not because I know it's important to. Bring on innovation though
About time! It'll need a much bigger test group and I'd be happy to give it a go. But I can't help being reminded of Davey Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean) 🐙
I mouth-breathe a lot during sleep. How will this new mask work with mouth-breathers? Also, I am a fetal side-sleeper. One of my nostrils is usually a bit stopped up. If I flip over on my other side, the opposite nostril opens up and the other clogs. Will this inhibit the vortices?
@@sueworsell4122 I hope we get a response because I would love to have even less face coverage. I already use the Evora under-the-nose mask that does cover my mouth. I moved away from the full face mask mostly because the seal would get so bad after a couple of weeks of me squashing it around due to my sleep position. The air from the bad seal around my nose just blasted into my eyes during the night so that they were painfully dry every time I woke up in the mornings.
I have exactly the same issues. Just find yourself a good full face mask and you don't need to worry about taping your mouth shut or one nostril not working. I also sleep on my side at night and it isn't an issue. I just hang the mask off the end of the pillow and tuck the hose under my arm (the side not on the bed) and it works great. I will say it takes some work and dedication to finding the right mask, tubing, pressure settings, mask tightness, where you put the mask on your face, etc etc etc.. But once you get it working it is great.
Glad to hear from someone who has exactly the same sleep challenges as me. I have resmed 10 and F20 cushion masks. Generally works well and quite tolerable, althouhg I struggle to sleep more than 5-6Hrs/night at best of times 😞 I do tape my mouth shut ~85% (not fully shut) which has helped with mouth breathing/dryness. Bridge of my nose is always very red in the morning from the mask and have tried various solutuons/tapes without much success.
Thankyou!.. I use F20 mask but changed to a memory foam mask .. costs a bit but is a game changer with face farts and leaks into eyes. Just I still manage to mouth breathe sometimes.
I've switched to a full face mask because air leaks out of my mouth sometimes and it wakes somebody else up 😒 I know I could use mouth tape but I suspect that an air vortex would blast the throat open (being directional) without mouth leakage. I'm pretty excited about this one.
@@CPAPReviews In my crazy stupidity, many years ago, I had Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) surgery where the doctor trimmed some of my soft palate and uvula which I think is why I get mouth leakage with CPAP. It didn't fix anything and I regret doing that now!
I strongly suggest you try oral tape instead of the FFM. the amount of subpar studies done in the sleep lab because of poor performance of a FFM for a variety of reasons is enough to make me ALWAYS try to convince oral tape when doing nasal titrations and a oral leak ( usually during REM sleep ) appears.
I used to wake up with a dry mouth and an empty or almost empty water tank every morning. That doesn't happen ever since I started taping my mouth shut. I have not even changed the settings. No more dry mouth and no more empty tanks. It's been this way for about a year.
Please tell me what the negative side effects are ? Like anything else foreign, I'd imagine you would have to adapt. I use the Evora full-face mask. Great seal , great comfort. IT'S THE TUBING!! Give me an apparatus without the tubing, and I'll be a happy sleeping camper. 😊
I'm the 1. I'm the one weird one who can't wait to get my mask on 😂. Probably because I have seen how well it's worked for me and I know I'll be getting good sleep
@@sharon94503 No I mean that the technology is different, because this new device doesn't utilise constant air pressure. My understanding is that it only activates during an apnoea episode, whereas traditional cpap machines are in a constant state of blowing air- therefore drying us out.
Nick, you look like the Borg in the thumbnail.....it's not a bad look for you. Good to hear that you and your family are pushing forward. How cute, Zoey applauds herself.....very cute.
I guess I’m the one. I’ve been very comfortable with my BI-PAP for almost 20 years, pretty much from the very beginning. I like it so much that if an alternative drug therapy were released that was equally effective, I’m not sure I would give up my CPAP.
People like you, amaze me. I have claustrophobia so bad, I would do anything, within reason, to get out of wearing this mask. Drugs to replace it, would NOT be within reason. 🙄 (I do not trust the medical industry since the virus). The doc keeps suggesting the "under the skin" inspire device. That is not an option either. I do not want surgery for this problem.
The Air Vortex Cannon, marketed as the "Airzooka" is still being made and can be purchased for less than 30$. Also thanks for the heads up on this new device, although there must be more than ONE person you mentioned - can't wait to lie down and put that mask on my face.....
I'm lucky I guess. I love sleeping with my cap/nasal pillows type mask. I fall asleep quickly, stay asleep and have no seal issues. I call it my angel.
I don’t have those issues….. I use a Phillips nasal mask, pressure is 12, tape, and I am good to go. No issues at all. I understand thought it is difficult for many others.
"If it ain't broke-dont fix it!" I'm the one that loves CPAP but I use pillows mask with mouth tape. I can adjust pressure, humidity AND air is filtered. Sorry, sticking with what works!
I sleep all night in my cpap, every single night. If I take a nap during the day, I wear my cpap. I only have 8.5 pressure though, it does not feel hard to breathe out.
I've been getting sinus pressure headaches from a long weather system here and when I put on the cpap at night the headache goes away. I'm this close |-----| to using it during the day, when the headache gets too bad. I mean, it's a drug free solution anyway. 🤷🏻♀️
Oh I’m in Cincy and I’d love to be a tester for this! Even better my spouse needs to be a tester. My spouse has a hard time with leaking and giving up in the middle of the night.
Right there with ya mate one of those guns would be spot on. 😂I'm interested to hear your take on this Vortex in part 2 on ya go mate many thanks as always for your insight and willingness to share your thoughts on new ideas 🍻🍺 cheers mate
Hi there, although i share a lot of information for free on youtube. I also have another platform where i provide additional content for a fee. Those members support me, my work, my family, my employees and this channel. Cheers.
@@CPAPReviews Good luck with your channel. I am certain I'll eventually be able to find the same information without having to sign up on a website. Once the product is out there and tested more channels will be posting their reviews on UA-cam. I can wait.
Nah, pulsating vortices sounds a lot worse to me than continuous pressure, but then I've had 100% compliance and zero issues with regular CPAP since day 1 (many a year ago). To me, it was very easy to get used to (but since I have very severe apnea, I'd still be using it even if I had issues with it, because the improvement with CPAP is vast).
Yeah, not using something that wraps around my ears. Ouch. Hopefully it has a head strap option. I would like some focus on preventing the mouth from dropping open. Current options of chin strap, tape, and neck brace are horrible.
I'm terribly uncomfortable, but I wear it because I sleep so poorly without it. But, I don't like that my oxygen drops for an average of 60 seconds (5X and hour on cpap) before the action of the cpap restores my oxygen levels. I heard there was a new cpap in development in Canada that was "intuitive" and would maintain constant oxygen levels by anticipating events rather than reacting to them. Very high tech. I hope I live long enough to experience constant oxygen levels. I'd love to really feel normal again.
Interesting design. I don't think I would like the straps behind the ears and would prefer they go around my head...would still have to use a chin strap though if you tend to mouth breathe?
Wow, seems like an interesting concept. Pity you have commercialised what was an info site for general public. Those were the days when you ridiculed Resmed... Congrats and good luck.
If only the Resmed mini came with the warm tubing, i would be a happy camper. Strange i seem to have higher apnea events when i'm using the full mask versus when i use the pillow cushion mask
To be fair, I don’t mind the CPAP. Only complaint I do have is that if they turn it up too high, it has a tendency to inflate my stomach… which, is painful and results in the need to release that inflation, which, isn’t the nicest thing for mrs weed. Ayeeee.
I’ve had sleep apnea all my life due to EDS. I can’t use the mouth guard due to same and when I tried cpap I couldn’t sleep at all. It was awful. I don’t have high hopes for this machine either.
I haven't had any problems with CPAP compliance but I'm always on the lookout for alternatives. However, if a vortex can generate force to knock over bricks not sure whether I'd want to have my nose smeared across my cheek LMAO
How does this new type of mask handle leak? Leak has always been my biggest problem. I've tried everything to keep my mouth shut at night. I do a lot better these days than I did when I started but it's certainly not perfect.
Please help I have a resmed machine my mask covers my mouth and under my nose, my machine tells me that I haven’t got a leak, but I have very bad dry mouth, and I’m feeling very unwell I live in rural Australia can you help please
They get they are receiving their first manufactured device this month but still need FDA approval first so it will probably be a year until it's available i'd say
the bloody orthodontist that gave me braces and mild sleep apnea is in Cincinnati. did not expect to see UC folk when I clicked lol shoutout to those guys!
I have more trouble with the masks then anything else, my machine is extremely quiet and it works vary well. But I would like to try this vortex machine i believe it would solve any problems that i am having.
I have an honest question. I have sleep apnea myself and I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to handle it. But I've always seen all these negative comments about CPAP, so... why not getting a surgery instead. Isn't that the most effective path? instead of trying, throughout the years, with different masks and machines that a lot of people say that are uncomfortable and that, some way or another, make you depend on a machine?
I'd try the machine. You might be one of the lucky ones have no issues. It's not like you can't have surgery after trying the machine. It's not like there is a guarantee with surgery (first hit from a search) "The success rates in studies vary depending on the study, with a range between 16% and 83%, according to a 2021 study published in BJBMS. But recovery may take several weeks, and apnea symptoms may return, especially in obese patients."
@@stusue9733 TY for your response... I guess everything is always far more complicated when it comes to the human body, lol. I just wish I could take a pill and sleep all right haha, you know what I mean. But I got you, thank you for taking the time to answer.
By the comments, it appears that there are quite a few of us who love our CPAP machines. Of course we'd rather not have to use them but the alternative is a bit grim. I took me about a month to get used to CPAP, now, it's just part of bedtime. The only thing I hate is the telltale strap marks left on your face! Anybody with hints about how to deal with these? The prototype of the Vortex seemed to have even worse straps. Would definitely be interested in trying it out, though 20 pulses a second sounds weird.
I can honestly say that I forget about the fact that I am wearing it pretty quickly. Can't see that the new mask set up that the the patient was wearing in the video looks any more comfortable, maybe even less so.
Brown is 100+ pounds overweight. Getting on a ketogenic diet and losing weight would help him. Fixing the underlying problem never seems to get a look. Cool invention. 😎👍

If there was a way to incorporate an adhesive strip over the bridge of the nose, they could potentially get rid of the need for the straps around the ears.
Thanks for the video on this new CPAP tech! I've been on CPAP for around 4 years and greatly dislike it even though my AHI is generally below 1. I'm glad new tech is on the horizon.
Any chance that you'll release Part 2 to the general public? I don't have a need for the SleepHQ Pro, but I am a subscriber to your UA-cam channel. Thanks!
You cant put straps behind the ears as during the night it will start to ache, then in the morning the pain behind the ears will be shocking!behind the head straps will be much more comfortable. Thanks for this update buddy!
LOL. 🙋♀️ It's me. Hi. I'm your single person extremely happy to strap on my headgear and use my cpap every single solitary night. I feel so gawd awful if I ever try to sleep without it (like when the power is off for some reason) and can literally end up in the hospital so my brain is more than best pleased to use/wear/hear it. Thanks for acknowledging that fact. 😉
Glad your family is doing better. ❤
I could never stand those tubes in my nose. Definetly not for me
It’s always great to see new inventions and ideas being created, that said only issue I see here is what happens if you are a mouth sleeper? This is a tape your mouth shut mask only.
i am that one, i love going to bed and putting that machine on, resmed 10, i sleep 9 to 11 hours a night, i have a hundred percent usage, i was having 99 episodes an hour, i was unaware until i drove off the road once, and i fell head first onto the floor twice in the night, it woke me up and i still have no idea what i was doing, either sitting or walking. i feel awesome now
99 events an hour?? Wow! I had 38 and felt like THAT was alot. I fell asleep on the freeway. 🤪 Im glad this device helps.
Wonder how long this device can do that and continue to function without repair or replacement
I actually really like my CPAP and find it comforting. I'm fortunate. I think the more options the better. Complaince for me comes from a) my apnea being very mild and B) constant cleaning. It's just a pain. But I use it far more often than not because I know it's important to. Bring on innovation though
i really hope that one day they'll come up with something similar for central apnea, that i finally can live a life worth living.
About time! It'll need a much bigger test group and I'd be happy to give it a go. But I can't help being reminded of Davey Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean) 🐙
I mouth-breathe a lot during sleep. How will this new mask work with mouth-breathers? Also, I am a fetal side-sleeper. One of my nostrils is usually a bit stopped up. If I flip over on my other side, the opposite nostril opens up and the other clogs. Will this inhibit the vortices?
Just the same here .. Apart from mouth tape I can't see it working.
@@sueworsell4122 I hope we get a response because I would love to have even less face coverage. I already use the Evora under-the-nose mask that does cover my mouth. I moved away from the full face mask mostly because the seal would get so bad after a couple of weeks of me squashing it around due to my sleep position. The air from the bad seal around my nose just blasted into my eyes during the night so that they were painfully dry every time I woke up in the mornings.
I have exactly the same issues. Just find yourself a good full face mask and you don't need to worry about taping your mouth shut or one nostril not working. I also sleep on my side at night and it isn't an issue. I just hang the mask off the end of the pillow and tuck the hose under my arm (the side not on the bed) and it works great. I will say it takes some work and dedication to finding the right mask, tubing, pressure settings, mask tightness, where you put the mask on your face, etc etc etc.. But once you get it working it is great.
Glad to hear from someone who has exactly the same sleep challenges as me. I have resmed 10 and F20 cushion masks. Generally works well and quite tolerable, althouhg I struggle to sleep more than 5-6Hrs/night at best of times 😞 I do tape my mouth shut ~85% (not fully shut) which has helped with mouth breathing/dryness. Bridge of my nose is always very red in the morning from the mask and have tried various solutuons/tapes without much success.
Thankyou!.. I use F20 mask but changed to a memory foam mask .. costs a bit but is a game changer with face farts and leaks into eyes. Just I still manage to mouth breathe sometimes.
I've switched to a full face mask because air leaks out of my mouth sometimes and it wakes somebody else up 😒
I know I could use mouth tape but I suspect that an air vortex would blast the throat open (being directional) without mouth leakage.
I'm pretty excited about this one.
Yes and you can actually have your mouth open too. You’ll loose a little bit of pressure / force but not nearly as much as you do with cpap 🍻🤙
Try the nasal or pillow mask without a pillow under your head (or a very thin one). It worked for me, no mouth leaks.
@@CPAPReviews In my crazy stupidity, many years ago, I had Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) surgery where the doctor trimmed some of my soft palate and uvula which I think is why I get mouth leakage with CPAP. It didn't fix anything and I regret doing that now!
I strongly suggest you try oral tape instead of the FFM. the amount of subpar studies done in the sleep lab because of poor performance of a FFM for a variety of reasons is enough to make me ALWAYS try to convince oral tape when doing nasal titrations and a oral leak ( usually during REM sleep ) appears.
I wonder if the VA will get this for it’s patients
Love my cpap
I used to wake up with a dry mouth and an empty or almost empty water tank every morning. That doesn't happen ever since I started taping my mouth shut. I have not even changed the settings. No more dry mouth and no more empty tanks. It's been this way for about a year.
Please tell me what the negative side effects are ? Like anything else foreign, I'd imagine you would have to adapt. I use the Evora full-face mask. Great seal , great comfort. IT'S THE TUBING!! Give me an apparatus without the tubing, and I'll be a happy sleeping camper. 😊
I actually look forward to sleeping now. I don't mind the mask as I just use the "pillows." I slip it on and in moments I'm fast asleep
The first two weeks was amazing! I was finally waking up rested.
Then it went to shit. And it's been like that for two years.
I'm the 1. I'm the one weird one who can't wait to get my mask on 😂. Probably because I have seen how well it's worked for me and I know I'll be getting good sleep
We love this guy. He is amazing. I feel he thinks out side the box.
But how do they humidify it? I can feel all of my sinus cavities drying out just thinking about this.
Great question! I don't know why I didn't think of that one. I guess I was too worried about mouth breathing and eye dryness.
It doesn't need humidity because it's not constantly blasting air. The constant air in cpap is what dries us out.
@Aiti_Tovi the theory that it is only intermittent vs. someone who has many more severe episodes sounds about right.
@@sharon94503 No I mean that the technology is different, because this new device doesn't utilise constant air pressure. My understanding is that it only activates during an apnoea episode, whereas traditional cpap machines are in a constant state of blowing air- therefore drying us out.
Nick, you look like the Borg in the thumbnail.....it's not a bad look for you. Good to hear that you and your family are pushing forward. How cute, Zoey applauds herself.....very cute.
I guess I’m the one. I’ve been very comfortable with my BI-PAP for almost 20 years, pretty much from the very beginning. I like it so much that if an alternative drug therapy were released that was equally effective, I’m not sure I would give up my CPAP.
People like you, amaze me. I have claustrophobia so bad, I would do anything, within reason, to get out of wearing this mask. Drugs to replace it, would NOT be within reason. 🙄 (I do not trust the medical industry since the virus). The doc keeps suggesting the "under the skin" inspire device. That is not an option either. I do not want surgery for this problem.
The Air Vortex Cannon, marketed as the "Airzooka" is still being made and can be purchased for less than 30$. Also thanks for the heads up on this new device, although there must be more than ONE person you mentioned - can't wait to lie down and put that mask on my face.....
I'm lucky I guess. I love sleeping with my cap/nasal pillows type mask. I fall asleep quickly, stay asleep and have no seal issues. I call it my angel.
Are your nostrils getting bigger and bigger? 😰
@@molly5292 not that I have noticed, lol
Happy birthday Zoe.
I love to use my cpap.
I don’t have those issues….. I use a Phillips nasal mask, pressure is 12, tape, and I am good to go. No issues at all. I understand thought it is difficult for many others.
Do you know there is a recall on Phillips CPAP machines? 😰
@@molly5292 Yes, thank you. 👍
Their masks should be fine.
I’m still getting used to my Rez air. I bet I can’t get this mask without that machine.
TY
Haha I remember getting one of those air guns from spencers.
Im still loving my bleep eclipse.
Glad to hear it legend!
So their great idea was based on a Whammo! air blaster?! Hmmm...I wonder how I can make lawn darts therapeutic?
Great, a breakthrough for nose breathers, but what about all of us mouth breathers??
"If it ain't broke-dont fix it!" I'm the one that loves CPAP but I use pillows mask with mouth tape. I can adjust pressure, humidity AND air is filtered. Sorry, sticking with what works!
Unfortunately it is broke for many people mate (75% from that big study in the beginning) but glad to hear you're enjoying therapy. Cheers
After getting a CPAP about 2 years ago I realized I was a zombie for a number of years before getting my machine. I refuse to sleep without it!
It's all going to come down to price.
I suspect KISS will win out over something like this.
I sleep all night in my cpap, every single night. If I take a nap during the day, I wear my cpap. I only have 8.5 pressure though, it does not feel hard to breathe out.
I've been getting sinus pressure headaches from a long weather system here and when I put on the cpap at night the headache goes away.
I'm this close |-----| to using it during the day, when the headache gets too bad. I mean, it's a drug free solution anyway. 🤷🏻♀️
Oh I’m in Cincy and I’d love to be a tester for this! Even better my spouse needs to be a tester. My spouse has a hard time with leaking and giving up in the middle of the night.
Right there with ya mate one of those guns would be spot on. 😂I'm interested to hear your take on this Vortex in part 2 on ya go mate many thanks as always for your insight and willingness to share your thoughts on new ideas 🍻🍺 cheers mate
Yeah good on ya mate. How ya goin. Go have a schooey wit the misso for me. Hooroo now
so how does it work? Part 2 should be on youtube. Instead the link goes to login site. Please fix
Hi there, although i share a lot of information for free on youtube. I also have another platform where i provide additional content for a fee. Those members support me, my work, my family, my employees and this channel. Cheers.
@@CPAPReviews Good luck with your channel. I am certain I'll eventually be able to find the same information without having to sign up on a website. Once the product is out there and tested more channels will be posting their reviews on UA-cam. I can wait.
Good luck on your search. Cheers
Nah, pulsating vortices sounds a lot worse to me than continuous pressure, but then I've had 100% compliance and zero issues with regular CPAP since day 1 (many a year ago). To me, it was very easy to get used to (but since I have very severe apnea, I'd still be using it even if I had issues with it, because the improvement with CPAP is vast).
Yeah, not using something that wraps around my ears. Ouch. Hopefully it has a head strap option. I would like some focus on preventing the mouth from dropping open. Current options of chin strap, tape, and neck brace are horrible.
I'm terribly uncomfortable, but I wear it because I sleep so poorly without it. But, I don't like that my oxygen drops for an average of 60 seconds (5X and hour on cpap) before the action of the cpap restores my oxygen levels. I heard there was a new cpap in development in Canada that was "intuitive" and would maintain constant oxygen levels by anticipating events rather than reacting to them. Very high tech. I hope I live long enough to experience constant oxygen levels. I'd love to really feel normal again.
Can the mask thing be used with a regular cpap machine?
Do they have one for us mouth breathers?
can't wait to give this a go
Interesting design. I don't think I would like the straps behind the ears and would prefer they go around my head...would still have to use a chin strap though if you tend to mouth breathe?
Wow, seems like an interesting concept.
Pity you have commercialised what was an info site for general public.
Those were the days when you ridiculed Resmed...
Congrats and good luck.
If only the Resmed mini came with the warm tubing, i would be a happy camper. Strange i seem to have higher apnea events when i'm using the full mask versus when i use the pillow cushion mask
You can heat the airmini air - community.sleephq.com/c/exclusive-content/turbo-charge-your-cpap-humidification
Hope they also have a full face mask, cant breathe through my nose a lot of the time :(
OMG SOOOO CUTE! Mine are all big boys now.
Yes this looks nice but what if you breathe through your mouth and have nasal congestion??
To be fair, I don’t mind the CPAP.
Only complaint I do have is that if they turn it up too high, it has a tendency to inflate my stomach… which, is painful and results in the need to release that inflation, which, isn’t the nicest thing for mrs weed.
Ayeeee.
How did you know I look forward to wearing my mask every night?
I’ve had sleep apnea all my life due to EDS. I can’t use the mouth guard due to same and when I tried cpap I couldn’t sleep at all. It was awful. I don’t have high hopes for this machine either.
Can people that don't need Cpap, use the VortecPaP? I just like the idea of having a vortex going inside of me.
I have one of those guns, super fun, pretty loud though...
Awesome! someone needs to make an automatic version that can fire off 20 V per second
I haven't had any problems with CPAP compliance but I'm always on the lookout for alternatives. However, if a vortex can generate force to knock over bricks not sure whether I'd want to have my nose smeared across my cheek LMAO
Hahahaha 😂
How does this new type of mask handle leak? Leak has always been my biggest problem. I've tried everything to keep my mouth shut at night. I do a lot better these days than I did when I started but it's certainly not perfect.
Please help I have a resmed machine my mask covers my mouth and under my nose, my machine tells me that I haven’t got a leak, but I have very bad dry mouth, and I’m feeling very unwell I live in rural Australia can you help please
I wonder when they expect to commercialize it. I'd love to buy one.
They get they are receiving their first manufactured device this month but still need FDA approval first so it will probably be a year until it's available i'd say
Will sleephq be coming to android?
yeah it will be not for a while. The android health ecosystem is a mess and we don't have enough resources to deal with it just yet
Yeah I think imma stick with my resmed airsence 11 "clinically tested " for one and I'd hate anything all up in my nose like that vortech new thing
I love my P30i. I do look forward to using it. :) This looks way worse.
the bloody orthodontist that gave me braces and mild sleep apnea is in Cincinnati. did not expect to see UC folk when I clicked lol shoutout to those guys!
I have more trouble with the masks then anything else, my machine is extremely quiet and it works vary well. But I would like to try this vortex machine i believe it would solve any problems that i am having.
My machine won’t turn down the pressure. Is it worn out.
I have an honest question. I have sleep apnea myself and I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to handle it. But I've always seen all these negative comments about CPAP, so... why not getting a surgery instead. Isn't that the most effective path? instead of trying, throughout the years, with different masks and machines that a lot of people say that are uncomfortable and that, some way or another, make you depend on a machine?
Depends on your country, insurance and doctors recommendations.
Surgery does not resolve all sleep apnea.
@@snospmoht3252 That's what I'm trying to know. It doesn't?
I'd try the machine. You might be one of the lucky ones have no issues.
It's not like you can't have surgery after trying the machine.
It's not like there is a guarantee with surgery (first hit from a search) "The success rates in studies vary depending on the study, with a range between 16% and 83%, according to a 2021 study published in BJBMS. But recovery may take several weeks, and apnea symptoms may return, especially in obese patients."
@@stusue9733 TY for your response... I guess everything is always far more complicated when it comes to the human body, lol. I just wish I could take a pill and sleep all right haha, you know what I mean. But I got you, thank you for taking the time to answer.
When can we try one?
I don’t like tubes stuck up my nostrils. I’ll stick with my 25 year old traditional nose mask.
The Dyson CPAP 🌪
What about mouth breathers?
Not sure about safety especially long term effects.
I really do wish that the developers of these would design one that doesn't make you look like an extra in the Star Wars Cantina scene.
Next gen? CPAP Pro has been out there for years! 😂
Wouldnt that really dry out your sinuses?
The Three Little Apneas.
By the comments, it appears that there are quite a few of us who love our CPAP machines. Of course we'd rather not have to use them but the alternative is a bit grim. I took me about a month to get used to CPAP, now, it's just part of bedtime. The only thing I hate is the telltale strap marks left on your face! Anybody with hints about how to deal with these?
The prototype of the Vortex seemed to have even worse straps. Would definitely be interested in trying it out, though 20 pulses a second sounds weird.
Exactly, what people are actually saying is they like the ‘results’ of wearing the mask not the actual wearing of the mask 🍻🤙
I can honestly say that I forget about the fact that I am wearing it pretty quickly.
Can't see that the new mask set up that the the patient was wearing in the video looks any more comfortable, maybe even less so.
Try a mask liner such as RemZee.
I am non compliant.
The vortex approach is interesting but to be honest I don’t think the masks look any more comfortable than the masks I have.
Brown is 100+ pounds overweight. Getting on a ketogenic diet and losing weight would help him.
Fixing the underlying problem never seems to get a look. Cool invention. 😎👍
What about full face mask?
We were promised smoke rings!!
Those vortex toys are called airzooka
Got a link for these folks?
