low air volume
I havent missed a night in about 5 years on cpap but lately i seem to be struggling to get enough air. I mean it seems my air volume is low.

Re: Does a mask really go bad?
I seem to not be able to get as much air either. I mean volume of air. I find I have to take an occasional deep breath through my mouth that I never used to do. Are you using your original machine? After 4 or 5 years, it may not be producing the same volume of air. Have you had the pressure checked...

Re: Does a mask really go bad?
t They should be replaced every 3 months. every 3 months seems quite excessive and expensive. I have never heard of a recommendation for that short of a time. To be specific about my mask, no part of the mask aside from the nasal pillows touch my face. Any other part that touches my face are cloth ...

Re: Does a mask really go bad?
my leaks are about 0. got a nice fit too. My doctor suggested I change the machine from cpap to auto cpap. I tried it earlier tonight with the minimum at 4.0 but I couldnt seem to get enough air to breath through the mask so I eventually turned up the minimum pressure to 8.0 which is where I am norm...

Does a mask really go bad?
For the past 4 or 5 years I have had no trouble using my cpap until about 2 weeks ago. For some reason I haven't been able to sleep. I have tried many things. When the trouble started I changed my nasal pillows. I can see that the pillows need changing as they do seem to wear. I bought new masks bec...

With some insurance, you can replace the pillows more frequently, like every month or maybe less. I think (but not sure) that this would be classified as a pillow. If things keep going well with me for the NAII, I'll try and get this as a replacement pillow at the end of the month. Check with your ...

I look at my numbers every morning as part of my AM routine. The sleep tech told me not to get the software and that it was for doctors to look at not patients. We couldnt understand it. What BS! I am really glad I have it, I need to be deeply involved in my own therapy as I trust myself more then a...
