at higher pressures (7+), the air starts to blow out of the bottom part of the mask that surrounds my mouth (it's just a soft flap of plastic and the air just starts pushing through that flap). The rest of the headgear is fairly tight already, so I'm not sure what more can be done to stop the leak....

Will talk to my eye doc about Nasacort. She had me stop Flonase when I developed glaucoma and said that nasal steroids can be a cause. Good idea. Nasacort is a steroid and it is certainly possible to have steroid-associated intraocular pressure elevations from nasal steroids. Fortunately, most pati...

I wasn't sure. Your post followed my response.

I didn't think I was making such a comparison.

This sounds like a trick by the new sleep doctor to get billings for his sleep lab. I will never do a new study. My doctor gives me a letter once per y...

1. If you fill your humidifier tank at bedtime, how much water remains in the morning?

2. Are you sure you are drinking sufficient water during the day? They say 64 oz. under normal conditions.

3. What is the climate in your area like? If you don't mind, which city?

Except for those who take to CPAP like a duck to water, I always recommend a consultation with an ENT ASAP. She will scope your nose on the first visit for a complete look at your upper airway. She will note any trouble spots and make recommendations. BTW, correction of a deviated septum is usually ...

Have read and tried the mask fit directions on this forum. 1. Have you watched some YouTube videos on fitting and adjusting the Vitera? stuffy nose at night. I do saline nasal rinse at bedtime, 2. Have you tried Nasacort every morning after a nasal rinse? The nasal rinse is so the Nasacort gets int...

that link said "Out of stock" thats what I am finding all over.

even individual stuff like cushions

Is there a divider on the nasal slot or just one open slot?
