Re: Having periodic issues exhaling

I am suspending the hose and I do make sure to thoroughly wash my face before bed every night. I do, however, have facial hair so that might explain the leak above my lip. I may just clip something to the top of my nose to stop the leak spraying into my eyes.

Thanks
Curt

Re: Sleepyhead or Other Software System One 60 Series?

I'm trying to use SleepyHead on OS X 10.7.4 and I have the System One 60 Series CPAP machine. When I try to mount the SD card, though, the OS doesn't see it. Anyone else having issues mounting the SD card? Is the filesystem not compatible with OS X? I thought I've seen others use the SD card with OS...

Re: Having periodic issues exhaling

I think you might be right. When I lay on my side, my problem exhaling is better. However, I think this whole probably is better overall now. I guess I'm still adjusting to the CPAP since I've only been using it for 6 weeks or so. I had the pressure increased to 17 cm max, but it's still starting at...

Re: Newbie with questions about finding the right mask.

I use a Sleep Weaver and after my first night I had the same problem. A few days later, I noticed the soreness turned into a sore. This was a little over a week ago. Now, I put a small band aid over that area before putting the mask on it has helped a lot. Otherwise, the Sleep Weaver is very comfort...

Re: Having periodic issues exhaling

To answer some of the questions here, my AHI was diagnosed as 87 in my sleep study. Initially on the CPAP, I got it down to about 12.6. After switching masks, I see my 7 day average shot up to 36 and my 30 day average is now 26. I think a large part of that is when I was at an AHI of 12, I was only ...

Re: Having periodic issues exhaling

@Pugsy - Yes, 4 cm is my starting pressure and it ramps up to 10, 11, 15... whatever I have the max set to on that given night (experimenting with the right pressure for me). Last night I put the Sleep Weaver on and right away I could see the thing balloon up when I was exhaling. I do not believe my...

For nasal soreness and dryness, I use Ayr Gel. And it smells good too!

Having periodic issues exhaling

Hi all. I'm a noob here. Just recently got my CPAP (back in early May) and I've been playing around with a few masks and stuff to get the right set up for me. I have a Resperonics System One REMStar with heated humidifier. I started with a mask that covers both my mouth and nose, but being a bit cla...
