I wonder if altering any of the ResMed machine setting numbers , It might and it might not affect the leak but there is a sizable increased chance of apnea events materializing if the pressure is lowered....I assume you are thinking of limiting the pressures. I wonder if this problem is some thing ...

I was wondering why the mask leak only first occurred several hours after first putting it on my face , Facial oils...sweat...maybe impacting mask seal quality???? Hi and thanks for your suggestion . When the mask leak only occurs only after an hour or two , I have been quickly cleaning my face and...

then I can feel and hear air escaping from the edge of the mask Have you watched some youtube videos on fitting and adjusting your mask model? Thanks , not yet , good idea . I was wondering why the mask leak only first occurred several hours after first putting it on my face , seem a bit strange . .

I have, or had, the same issue! Several months I saw an ENT. I was anticipating that I would need the same surgery that I had 15 years ago(Think Roto-Rooter & deviated septum repair). After my exam, she stated that I should try nasal rinsing my nose a couple of times a day and to use Flonase. And, ...

I am now experiencing a problem. After putting my face mask on ( Phillips Respironics DreamWear Full Face ) in the beginning every thing feels normal , the mask fits well with no apparent leaks , but as time progresses , normally around 1 – 2 hours after putting the mask on , the mask starts to feel...

I’m going to make an appointment to see a ENT doctor as I’m getting convinced that my constant nightly complaint of having a blocked nose ( Left side nostril only ) is in some way effecting my sleep apnea numbers ( OSCAR ) . Having never before been to an ENT doctor , I am wondering what options or ...

I understand you brought your Airsense 10 across the pond.
Has the internal clock been reset for local time?
The day is intended to roll over at noon, which keeps your night together.

Thanks for that , I'm going to check it out .

Any thoughts on the above most welcome. My guess is that you have a heated hose and you didn't get it connected back on quite right, so the machine doesn't recognize that you have a heated hose. Thanks , you are spot on . The problem was heated hose electrical connection was not making contact . So...

Oh, what a royal pain! Yes, the droplet is a humidity icon. Go into your settings to see whether the humidity is set at 4. If that's not your preferred setting, then change it.

Thanks for that , now changed it.

Thanks to cpap, there are more of us mature creatures on this boat.
I'll be 76 in a couple of weeks, but I feel younger than I did before cpap.

That's good to know and gives me some hope , this getting old is a curse

I did not think that old age would come this fast

You should feel very encouraged by your experience the night of the 15th -- and your feeling of being rested the next day. You now know that you can keep the mask on longer and that you can have restful sleep. Your pressure on the 16th was driven up by flow limitations. You mentioned nasal spray, I...

I was hoping that there was some sort of wearable device that may record my sleep patterns. Oh, there are plenty of consumer devices that do this including Apple Watch. But their accuracy is questionable since they don't have EEG leads. I sleep on my side If you look at the periods where your machi...

Ex-Brit here too........welcome! I am 80 and have been on the "hose" a long time, and have no problem with it. Stick with it and you will be fine and it will become second nature to "hook up" when you hit the pillow at night. AGAIN, WELCOME TO THE ZOO!!!!!! Cheers Nan HI and thanks for the welcome ...

This is my latest OSCAR report . Which position(s) do you sleep in? Is there any way to actually tell for certain when and how long I actually went to sleep for. Short of a sleep study with EEG leads, no. Apple Watch does a reasonable estimate of sleep/awake times. At the end of a day, make a subje...

Well after taking on board the kind advice Ive been given here it seems I’m slowly becoming more use to wearing a mask while using my ResMed machine . This is my latest OSCAR report . https://imgbox.com/wCRt5WH0 I’m now wondering this....... If I am now able to keep the face mask on for 6 hours , co...
