Switching to pillows- trying
Switching to pillows- trying
I am trying the P10 pillow mask again, for the 2nd time. I have been using a FX Nano nasal mask up till now. When you switch from a nasal mask to pillows, are there any adjustments that you had to make on your machine? Specifically, did you have to increase the humidity level, since it seems like the air is blowing up my nose? Also, does the pressure setting stay the same ? I know there is a mask setting on my machine and I changed that.

I also switched from nasal mask (Dreamwear) to pillows (Dreamwear Gel Pillows) a week ago. I only changed the machine setting from nasal to pillows, no changes to humidity (don't use it) or pressure. Everything seems fine, other than a slightly sore nose.

Update- I added more humidity last night, from a setting of 3 to 5. It definitely helped. I even think I could use some more humidity.
