Re: New CPAP User with Paradoxical Reaction?
I'm paying for it all out of pocket and the foam mask is another $100 so I just wanted to get opinions as to whether or not it was an improvement before ordering it. Where are you located? There are places where you can get just the memory foam cushions for the F20 for a lot less than $100. The peo...

Re: New CPAP User with Paradoxical Reaction?
Padacheek.com makes 'liners' for most masks - the designer was a member here - so look it up and order something for your face. Any chance you can try the foam on or won't they let you? Thanks, I'll check that out. I'm paying for it all out of pocket and the foam mask is another $100 so I just want...

Re: New CPAP User with Paradoxical Reaction?
Very nice! You solved the leak problem with the medium, it seems, which is great. I'm not sure why the hose came off the mask, so just be sure it's snugged on there when you go to bed. Could you post another chart after another few nights getting used to things? I should have explained that in addi...

Re: New CPAP User with Paradoxical Reaction?
IMO that looks fabulous and I would leave it sit. Those few snores could just be leak chatter and the FLs benign. Get accustomed to things for now. In re: the tiredness at noon, you've been up for ~7 hours so that could simply be an expected occurrence. A lot (most?) people have an afternoon dip. A...

Re: New CPAP User with Paradoxical Reaction?
Hello! Thanks for the information and recommendations. I have adjusted the settings as per your recommendations. I also switched last night from a large mask back to a medium mask and I think that has fixed the leaks. Here is my data from last night. There's a gap in the data where I woke up and saw...

Re: New CPAP User with Paradoxical Reaction?
Okay I have at least one night's worth of data. Admittedly last night was a pretty good night, but i'm having a lot of problems with mask leaks waking me up.

Re: New CPAP User with Paradoxical Reaction?
I want to underline what chunkyfrog said about Oscar. People will be happy to advise you about fine-tuning your settings, but they'll need the kind of information that Oscar provides. You'll need a laptop or desktop computer, an SD card in your machine (32GB or less), and a way for your computer to...

Re: New CPAP User with Paradoxical Reaction?
I'm getting from about 7-8 Hours of sleep each night since getting it. At least that's what's showing on the MyAir information. I'm a little sad to report that I slept pretty soundly for about 4-5 hours last night before waking up around 2am with the same breathless, heart racing sensation as before...

New CPAP User with Paradoxical Reaction?
Hello All, I'm new here and new to CPAP therapy. After an at-home sleep test I was diagnosed with moderate OSA with an AHI average over three nights of 19. I was prescribed a CPAP with 4-20cm pressure and began using it (an Airsense 10 Autoset with the F20 full face mask) last Friday night for the f...
