Re: New User Problems

Okay, being new, I am still learning.

Re: New User Problems

jweeks, I have a REMstar Pro 2 C-Flex CPAP machine. I turned up the humidifier to 5 last night (as high as it would go) and I still woke up after 2 hours with a dry mouth. This is a problem for me. I have been a mouth breather my entire life due to asthma. The machine is no good if I keep waking up ...

Re: New User Problems

Thank you for the replies. It is a quatro full face mask. I will try it lose tonight. I have a humidifier. It is set on 3. Is it okay to increase it to max? I think part of the problem is that I am use to sleeping on two/three pillows for comfort and that is not working well with the mask. I will ke...
