  Infinity HC481 Direct Seal Nasal Mask, Four Silicone Seals (ExtraSmall, Small, Medium, and Large), Breath-O-Prene Headgear, MicroGear Headgear, Sizing Guide and User Friendly Fitting Guide, and Printed InstructionsThe Infinity 481 is smaller and lighter than almost any mask on the market and comes with four shaped Silicone Seals (XS, S, M, L) so that you’re ensured of a great fit right out of the box. The Infinity 481 is designed to be unobtrusive and allow for maximum freedom of movement during sleep. The combination of a FlexiTube and ball-and-socket swivel joint on the mask mean that your CPAP tube can be positioned easily and move freely during sleep without interrupting therapy or breaking the mask’s seal. Two types of headgear are now included with each Infinity mask from DirectHomeMedical. MicroGear headgear (shown above) incorporates the simplest of straps that fit around the head and behind the ears quickly and easily. If you prefer slightly more substantial headgear then the Infinity’s adjustable Breath-O-Prene headgear is right for you — holding the mask securely in place without overtightening.

Is an oxygen concentrator normal treatment for sleep apnea, and can oxygen cause headaches?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

I’ve had several test where overnight I wore the thing on my finger to test my oxygen saturation levels, and apparently the levels went down because now the Dr. has ordered an oxygen concentrator to wear at night. We’re doing another oxygen level test in a few weeks, to see if the concentrator helps. I’m just wondering if this is a normal first step, because I see a lot of people on here use other things. I’ve also noticed that I’m waking up with horrible headeaches after sleeping with the oxygen, is that normal?
It’s just a normal concentrator with a humidifier bottle and nasal canula. I don’t think the headaches are from it being too tight, because it only goes over my ears and is just tight enough that it doesn’t fall off.

Usually when you get headaches it’s from lack of oxygen, I used to get those heaps but once i went on oxygen they cleared up straight away. If you think the prongs are too tight just hook them up underneath your nose and tighten at the back of your head, I do that because it feels like my ears are being pushed out the other way lol. As for the headaches, talk to your doctor and see what can be done, you may not be getting enough oxygen at night and might have to put it up higher.

Do you guys have experienced sleep paralysis frequently or sometimes?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Sleep paralysis is when you wake up and suddenly you can’t open your eyes, move your body, sometimes still hearing or feeling things and can’t breathing, even though your conscious and awake?
This is sort of a frequent thing for me, believe it or not.

I did once and it was the most frightening experience in my entire life. I woke up from a dream and I felt like there was a body lying on top of me, keeping me down and preventing me from moving. I could barely see anything because it was very dark. I was very scared, I felt like I was in danger, so I tried to scream, but no sound came out. I remember forming the words "MOM!", in my head, but I couldn’t make a sound. Then a hand moved over my mouth, and I felt like I was being suffocated. My next thought was to throw myself off the bed, anything to be out from under the thing that was crushing my body. I don’t remember what happened next because I fell asleep. I did not sleep at all the next night, but it has never happened again.
