Yes im on a humidifier, but i am still on the lowest setting....should i turn it up a little....no, im not coughing it up....im still a little confused about the humididfier, how do i know its too high?

Yesterday I noticed that I am having blood in my flem. Could this be from using my cpap? I have been on a cpap for a week now. Does anybody know what i could do about this. And, does it really have anything to do with my cpap.

What is your pressure when you start and what is the pressure when it leaks? (Look on the display on the unit.)

I start out at four, then it gets up to 8 within 30minutes

I have been on my cpap for about a week now, and i have been asking a lot of question, well last night i was asleep and woke up to my mask blowing air into my eyes, so i readjusted it, and then it was leaking out the side.

Hello! I was just wondering how to find out what kind software my machine has. I dont think im looking in the right place. Thanks!

Thank you all for giving such great ideas....My nose is stuffy all during the day, so at night its hard to breath through my nose. Again, thanks everyboy for helping me.

hmmmmmm, I never knew that about OTC medicines. Thanks for letting me know....I will call them tomorrow to see if i can be fitted for a different mask. The one i have now just fits over my nose. Thanks for your help!!
