175R3B

Post by RHIH » Sat Nov 13, 2010 8:27 am

I have been using my CPAP for about four weeks. Last night it seemed like it was making way to much noise and it sounded like Darth Vader when I was breathing in and out. Also it did not seem to have as much pressure when I consciously stopped breathing, before the pressure pretty much forced me to breath. Not sure if this is my imagination or a real issue. I'll call the factory rep. Monday, just wanted to see if anyone could help in between. Thanks.

I'm not sure what machine you have but sometimes the humidifier is not replaced properly and that allows massive leaks.

Let us know what machine you have and pressures etc. it may help identify the problem.

P.s. Welcome to the forum

Are you sure your mask is put together properly? Maybe you took it apart to clean it and didn't get it back together right.
A leak in you hose?
