Lips forced open by pressure while lying on back

[jjatweb]

Hi,

My lips are forced open by pressure only when I am lying on my back. This causes a 'popping' sound of air exiting my mouth which wakes everyone up, including myself.

When I lie on my side, there is no problem.

Any suggestions? I have a Resmed S9 that my brother gave me. I understand there is a card I can read. I wonder what variable I should look at?

I get this on my side or back. If I position my head JUST right it doesn't happen, but instead I tape , because otherwise it just wakes me too often. So taping is an alternative. I think some members user cervical collars and other things as well. I tape and use a chinstrap that also covers my mouth (it helps keep the tape on).

Everyone? How many people is everyone, do you sleep in a barracks?

Any suggestions?

Tape you lips shut. Quit a few do this to seel their lips.

Pick up the cheapest SD Card you can get. Put it in the your S9. Install SleepyHead on your computer. Import the data after a night (or many nights sleep). Read a few topics here, to see what the SleepyHead graphs look at and how others are interpreting the data.

The S9 is sensitive to any foreign changes to the SD Card so make sure you turn on write-protect on the SD Card when you put it in the computer for import and undo the write-protect when you put it back in your S9.

I think this is a Resmed problem I had a Remstar Pro Auto CPAP before and there was no problem. This Resmed is a nightmare.

I'll try the Sleepyhead software and post it to see if someone can figure it out.

That's strange. I've always had this problem. My previous machine was a respironics m series auto.
