Snoring with CPAP Mask on

Woke up this morning and my Girlfriends said that she could hear me snoring slightly even when I had my CPAP mask on... It may have been just vibration from breathing hard... but is it out of the norm to still snore a little bit?

Re: Nose burns using nasal pillow

Ok I will try that... I hope my humidifier is actually working.... How long should it take to feel a difference in humidity, if that even is possible?

Re: Breathe Heavy, Cant fall asleep

I have tried white noise... It is not so much that the mask is uncomfortable. It is how the air makes it hard to get a deep breath and making me have to force to exhale... So i never get relaxed enough to fall asleep. Also have tried relaxation breathing, no dice!

Re: Breathe Heavy, Cant fall asleep

Thanks Julie I dont really use the ramp function. It does get worse that way. I know what CPAP is supposed to do... But I will not use it if I cant fall asleep... So i am trying to think of a different option. I dont have a problem with a full face mask, since I scuba dive and am quite comfortable.....

Breathe Heavy, Cant fall asleep

Hey all! I have been trying to use my CPAP machine for a few months. I have a ffm because I always have one nostril that is stuffy, and I usually breathe with my mouth. I have I guess a biPAP (Pressure reduces when I exhale). My problem is that I am a big guy, and I breathe really heavy. So sometime...
