Any suggestions about high leak

I've been on CPAP for 6 years with nasal pillows, and am having difficulty with reported leak rates lately. On Resmed A10. Reading the clinical sleep report on it, my leak was 28L last night. Since it's been going up over the past month, I've changed out everything (pillows, tubing), but still going...

Re: CPAP Waking Me Up After 5 Years

Thank you to all who responded to my post. I know now that I need to learn more about my new CPAP machine A10 Autoset, my settings and how to access the reports from it.

Re: This is all so overwhelming

Thank you to all who responded with your encouragement...I do appreciate it. My husband is a good guy-been married 35 years, but, he, too, is accustomed to me being healthy as a horse, so to speak.
