I just got my ResMed Friday. The first night I had no internal vibrations and it said 8 episodes. Saturday night it read 2 episodes but I had internal vibrations again. Medicare will pay for the machine and I'm required to use it at least 4 hours within a 24 hour period and after 13 months, I will own the machine. I'm using the nasal cpap. My pressure is set at 4. I got it solely to try to help the vibrations since after sleep study I didn't have any for a week and a half. The tech told me I didn't really qualify as a patient with sleep apnea. I don't snore, wake up gasping for air, get sleepy during the day and the pressure is as low as they'll go.

CPAPs generally require some experimenting to get working ideally. Pressure setting, mask type, warming temperature, humidity level all come into play. Some experimentation and adjustment may be necessary.
Second, it can take a while (like upwards of a month) to adjust to using one, so patience is advised.
Last, keep who prescribed it informed as to what is happening (even though they can see the reported machine's telemetry) so they can advise/suggest changes.
Hope that helps.
