New record big leak...at least for me

Post by Pugsy » Fri Oct 24, 2014 1:56 am

I hadn't downloaded in several days and I was scrolling through some daily details and I spotted this little jewel.
This is a brand new record for me...First time I would have see the Mr Frowny face...it take a lot of big leak to brink Mr Frowny out....Resmed say 30 % or more in big leak will make Mr Frowny face show up.
36% of the night in massive prolong leak. I slept right through it. No dry mouth this night though.
Take a look this scarey leak.
All that leak and I just barely got enough to where Mr Frowny face would have showed up.
I have never come close this much leaks.
I don't remember any of it.
I circled the large leak flags on the events graph in red just in case the color is too faint.
After seeing this I decided to give the headgear a good washing in hot water and brought out a new pillow.

Yeah, I woke up one day with P10 hanging off my nose, head gear not seriously engaged with my head *smile*. Not a bad AHI, so it must have slid off just before I woke up. Same thing here, warm water and a new nasal pillow *smile*. This mask makes it pretty obvious when it's for a tune-up.

Got to admit that could be a record number of event flags, there. Although most likely pretty meaningless in light of the leakage. Very impressive, none the less. Thanks for sharing *smile*.

What record number of event flags...the fact there are a handful??? That's common with me with this machine. I see AHI 0.0 often and lots of nights with maybe 1 or 2 for events the entire night.
On a very rare occasion I will have a nasty little cluster to give me an AHI of 2 or maybe 3 but it's very rare.
And this is when leaks aren't out of control like they are here.

I also have been getting large leak rates on both F10 and Total masks. I think the masks are riding up from my upper chin at night. I may need to think about strapping that sucker down. After reading the topic of your thread, my first thought that something must be in the water... via the humidifier....or the moon or something....

I could bet dollars it was just time for a new pillow. Interesting to see what happens tonite. Report in!
