Just wanted to give an update. Adjusting to CPAP has been a struggle. I seem to have good success at a pressure level of 10. However, the full face masks (and I've tried several) just don't work for me. It's too hard to keep a seal and they literally hurt my face. I've been using the Phillips DreamW...

It's set to auto ramp. I'm not convinced I need the ramp at all at these settings because I don't feel like ...

Thank you to everyone who replied!

Hello. I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea about 15 years ago and briefly tried CPAP. It was a disaster. As I slept, the mask seal would break and the pressure would increase so much it would wake me up. I would repeat this process several times per night. After a week of misery, I gave up. I ...
