My mask is pulsating when I exhale at a pressure of 6. I'm only at a range of 4-6. It feels like the seal is deflating when I exhale. I'm trying to keep the mask as loose as possible because I have a mouthguard. If I were to tighten the mask, it would hurt my teeth and leave big marks on my face. I've been resetting the ramp back down to 6 when I'm awake, but the pulsating keeps waking me up and if it starts when I'm awake, it's really annoying.
I just turned down the humidifier down to 1 (from 2.5) last night but that didn't do anything.
Any ideas? Thanks.
How do I stop the pulsating upon exhalation?

Do you have A-Flex or C-Flex turned on? Try turning that down or off.

I found aflex did that. You can switch to using cflex and try that. You have to enter the program mode to do that.
Re: How do I stop the pulsating upon exhalation?
OK, great. I turned off the c-flex and a-flex; I was on a-flex. My pressure's not that high so I don't need the exhalation relief.
Looking forward to a more comfortable night. Thanks!
