317069: Definitely is a medical issue, but am investigating alternative options -- to simulate lower altitude while I sleep (awake hours are not an issue, just while sleeping).
Thanks again for input from everyone. Sounds like I'm back to the drawing board!
MintJulep: Yes, I've tried just straight O2 concentration, but didn't help. Apparently it is the CO2 that is backing up and causing issues, though. Have done a sleep study already, and was just exploring different options! Many thanks for your input and advice!
Thanks for the info -- didn't realize it would be that difficult and cause that much pressure. I am currently trying a special type of machine called an Auto BiPap ASV, but it costs close to $8000 and is taking some time to get accustomed to. Was hoping that there would be another solution...
I meant to say, I can work on making the room air-tight. It is approximately 1800 cubic feet in volume, and temperature can be kept close to 70 degrees F.
Hi, I live at 7000ft and spend a lot of time at 10000 ft altitude. However, I have a horrible time sleeping at the 10000 ft elevation. (horrible == hardly at all and poses a medical risk unfortunately).
Talking with a sleep specialist, it is obviously pressure related (along with O2...
