Re: Sanity check

Alright I gave mouth taping a shot, it's not as bad as I expected but I'm not sure I can do this long-term https://sleephq.com/public/dae08670-355f-4fe6-a311-a9d773b5db77 When I woke up enough around 8 I noticed the tape had detached from part of my mouth. I lowered the humidity setting from 2->1, w...

Re: Sanity check

I have thought about mouth taping, but it sounds fairly unpleasant (and I have a beard/mustache)... it's definitely going to be my fallback option, but I'd like to see if I can resolve things without it. https://sleephq.com/public/b1660f44-c4b5-4b02-bcf1-4462131369fa w/ V-COM I think it's better (an...

Re: Sanity check

I was hoping limiting the pressure excursions would help the leaks... does not appear to be the case, the leaks were worse! The leaks looked great on the 20th, not sure what's going on there. Are you waking with dry mouth? I have a theory that mask and mouth leaks can actually cause CO2 stripping, ...

Re: Sanity check

Straight 11 CPAP seemed worse - https://sleephq.com/public/9cc7627e-d6b ... d4e4a9ac6c

I definitely felt worse this morning then I have in a bit.

Re: Sanity check

Well I didn't see your post before I went to bed before I went to 11.. https://sleephq.com/public/d606613c-109 ... ad6f854f54

Aside from the leaks, I think that looks better?

Re: Sanity check

Decided to try the large nasal pillows last night, and the results here note great. 6:30am is when I woke up and switched back to the medium ones https://sleephq.com/public/b4c59cc3-6c60-4dde-be46-91fe2053849b I'm still having issues with leaks - I can't seem to get the strap to actually stay tight....

Re: Sanity check

Alright here's sleephq from last night: https://sleephq.com/public/5925dba8-3296-4123-b4ac-b910d2590945 The leak rate around 7AM was from opening my mouth according to my wife. Not sure what happened around 3:30 though. I think my min pressure probably needs to go up a bit - probably 8.8? After 10 d...

Re: Sanity check

the mask is the Airfit P10, I went on cpap.com, sorted by most reviews and went with that one. It's fairly comfortable, except last night I wore it upside down (seriously, who designs a sleep apnea mask with no tactile indication of which way is the right side up... There is another way to know whi...

Re: Sanity check

It took me awhile to fall asleep - I don't think I was actually asleep until some time around 1:30AM. If I inhale to quickly I can snore while I'm awake, the sides of my nose vibrate. Updated my profile, the mask is the Airfit P10, I went on cpap.com, sorted by most reviews and went with that one. I...

Sanity check

https://i.imgur.com/p6g838y.png This was my first night with cpap, my GP had prescribed 4-20 pressures, but my very first act was bumping the minimum pressure up to 6.6. Based on the graphs, I've bumped this up to 7.5 for tomorrow - does that sound sane? Something woke me up around 4am and it took ...
