Re: Need help with high leak rate (30 L/m) please
Progress Update: 1. Mask Seal Issue: Solved. Got the Bleep Eclipse and it is great. Complete seal. The skin around my nose is a little sore but it is an excellent mask! Thanks for the great recommendation. 2. Mouth Breathing Issue: Got a Mouth Shield (silicone shield inside mouth) and Hostage Tape t...

Re: Need help with high leak rate (30 L/m) please
Great! I will try both.
Question- From looking at the numbers, does it seem that the leak rate is significantly impairing the efficacy of the therapy ?
Or does it seem like it only has a small effect?
Thanks!

Re: Need help with high leak rate (30 L/m) please
Ok I raised the minimum pressure to 8.8 Also I don’t have an “AutoStart” setting in the Resmed 10 however it does have a “SmartStart” which I am assuming is the equivalent. I checked and that is off. So what do you think is causing these leaks and what permutations can I try to get rid of them? Than...

Re: Need help with high leak rate (30 L/m) please
Are those leaks causing you to wake up during the night fairly often?
I’m waking up around 3 times per night. There seems to be a correlation with the leak times.
Are you experiencing any nasal congestion?
Slight but not bad at all.

Re: Need help with high leak rate (30 L/m) please
I’m 56 and I’m sure that’s why I make so many trips.
That’s good to know it unhooks so easily. I’ll try that tonight.
Thanks for all the great advice!

Re: Need help with high leak rate (30 L/m) please
Sorry I missed those questions: Are you sleeping soundly for the most part or are you waking frequently during the night for some reason or the other? I’m sleeping pretty soundly. I get up 2-3 times per night to urinate but that has been like that for a few years. How are you feeling during the day?...

Re: Need help with high leak rate (30 L/m) please
Thank you so much for the great ideas! I will try those masks! The 30-35 L/m number is from my daily report in the Resmed MyAir app. I am relieved to think the pillow type mask can work. Are there any other suggestions for me to try?- ie what if it is me wrestling the mask off while unconscious- any...

Need help with high leak rate (30 L/m) please
I could really use some help with this issue, it is driving me nuts. I got a diagnosis and bought a Resmed Airsense 10 about a month ago. I have a beard so the store recommended Phillips dreamwear nasal pillows. It’s set to auto with max pressure 20. I’ve been getting pretty consistently 30-35 L/min...
