machine drop in pressure during the night

Post by nratc » Sun Mar 18, 2018 5:26 pm

On occasion my Resmed AirSense 10 Autoset drops pressure during the night. It actually wakes me up. If I turn it off then back on pressure is back, then later drops again. Is this normal? I have had this machine for a month and this just started happening.

Your machine is capable of auto which is most likely what it is set to. This means that the pressure will change due to need. Most likely the minimum pressure setting is too low for your comfort.

Exactly what are your machine settings? If you want to see your sleep see the three links below.

Drops to what? Back to what?
No clue without knowing what pressures your machine settings are or what you're referring to.
Are you monitoring your therapy with software (like Sleepyhead) or not?
Do you know how to get into your machine settings/setup?

Please be specific when posting about these things.
