How to stop leaks when sleeping on your side

My mask fits very well when I am on my back, sometimes it comes loose when I sleep on my side. My leak rate is 25, so it's well under the 50L/H that seem to cause problems. Should I look at getting a specific pillow to help this? Does anyone have any input? Thanks.

Of odd readings, AHI's and sessions >4 hours

To give some background, I started out with pressures on my APAP at 5-10 given that I haven't had time to go back for the second test. My average pressure on those settings was 7.8 with an AHI just under 5. I adjusted my settings to go from 7 to 11 instead. My AHI dropped down to 2.8 ish. I have bee...

Do you exercise? Has losing weight over the course of the last four years helped?

as for your ignorant response to Wulfman, boy have you got your head up your ass. I think you mean rude, not ignorant. If you're too ignorant to know the difference, it might not be the best idea to write publicly. I'm not a boy, thank you, and I don't think it's me that has my head up my ass aroun...

Wolfman, Thanks for the rude, ignorant response. Please refrain from assuming anything about my time in the future. I likely make more than you, have more responsibility than you and am smarter than you. Ergo, my time is likely worth a lot more than yours. You might want to refrain from making any a...

Will the smart card fit into a generic smart card reader

I'm rather pissed that these equipment vendors charge so much for non-clinical end user software. I'm wondering if I can pull the information off of the smart card reader and mess around with it programmatically myself. Does anyone know if I can use a standard card reader for this? Thanks.

A-PAP pressure enough?

Is there a way that I can tell if my A-PAP is set to enough pressure? Right now it's set to go between 5 and 10. I didn't go back for the second sleep test as I haven't really had the time. The 90% pressure reading is 7.8. My APN-HYP ratio is just under 5. Can anyone tell me if I should have this ch...

Card not in machine, will it get old readings?

I've had my card out of my machine for a week now. If I put it back in, will it take out what's in memory on the machine already?
