Hello @serichardson, Welcome to Connect. I wasn't able to get a replacement for my recalled CPAP either so I went out and purchased another brand and started using it. I know it must also be difficult for you trying to help your husband through his various other symptoms. I'm glad to hear you finally have an appointment setup with a sleep apnea specialist and a pulmonologist. I think a good start maybe to just list your husband current symptoms and discuss treatment options when you have your appointment. There is a website that has some cards you can print out so that you can plan your conversation with the doctor that I think you might find helpful. It provides some suggested thoughts on questions - https://patientrevolution.org/visit-tools.

Is your husband still using the recalled CPAP?

John, thanks for your response! He is currently still using his machine because he stops breathing and gasps for breath if he doesn’t. I will visit the site you sent.
