side sleeping with nasal pillow mask?

I'm hoping someone can help me. I was using the xs size nasal pillow for a while and my AHI was consistently going down and stayed around 1.5-1.8. The one thing that was bugging me....if I slept on my side it would cause a leak. I switched to the next size up...and was then able to sleep on my side ...

waking up feeling like the pressure has decreased

I'm probably going to see if I can get a different nasal pillow...but before I do. Is it normal to wake up and feel like the pressure is lighter than when I went to sleep. I had to look at the machine this morning to make sure it was at the right pressure (9). It felt as if there was barely any pres...

Re: Swift LT vs Swift FX

Hi everyone! I'm new to this board and new to Cpap as I have only been using it for a week. I'm getting a little frustrated though, as I'm still waking up with headaches and I wake up periodically during the night (way more than I remember before cpap) feeling as if the pressure is off. I have tried...
