Best resources on snoring cpap

Posted by curesforsnoring on May 26th, 2011

I’ve been using this strap for a few months now. It started out working really well but the overhead straps have stretched quite a bit causing the fit/tension to be pretty loose. Due to this extra slack I can just barely get it tight enough now to be effective. I have to basically stretch the right strap over my head to my left ear.

I was unaware at the time of purchase that this item was in fact not a genuine Respironics strap. The one I received is an Avalon Air brand. It may be of poorer quality than the genuine strap but I have never used the Respironics strap so cannot vouch one way or the other.

After this strap becomes totally stretched out and useless to me I will be looking for a different one. I do not plan to purchase this strap again.

Just a statement about cpap machines?
I have had blood pressure problems since I was about 24. I have been on medicine since then. I always snored very loud and the last few years I have felt very bad. I was tired all the time and well for lack of a better way to say it I was mean and nasty. My wife finally made me go to the doctor about my snoring. I had a sleep study and when I got the results I was stunned. I stopped breathing 243 times. My blood oxygen level dropped as low as 61 percent. My doctor said that snoring cpap studies show that sleep apnea and blood pressure problems may be linked and said that I probably had it when I was 24. Furthermore he said that the reason I did not feel the effects of the sleep apnea then was simply because of my youth. I am 40 now. I got a cpap machine and wow what a differerence, I felt like a new man. I decided to(with my doctors approval) to stop taking my medicine. It has been 2 weeks now and my blood pressure is holding fine. From time to time it will go up to high normal but over all it seems to be holding. I am proof that sleep apnea is a direct cause of some peoples blood pressure problems. If you do have high blood pressure and no other cause can be found I urge you to have a sleep study. If your doctor tells you you have high blood pressure because you are over weight, Tell him you want a sleep study. Over weight people are more proned to have sleep apnea which in my opinion can and will cause high blood pressure. Thanks
