I'm really unsure how to go about getting this taken care of but I suspect they won't do a...

Re: 2 day user, mask or machine issue?

I have switched to nasal pillows and have had fits with them. Tried different sizes and the medium is what I've been using the most. Not sure how the data looks but overall I feel the same or worse since I started almost 3 weeks ago. What is this data telling me? My AHI without the machine at the Sl...

Re: 2 day user, mask or machine issue?

Image Last nights sleep was horrendous I think. I'm exhausted today. First break was to use the bathroom and the short ones were me trying to get the mask to stop "sucking" in like I described. Finally got up and did some things for a bit and then laid back down.

Re: 2 day user, mask or machine issue?

Most of what you wrote could have been in Japanese as it makes no sense to me at this time. I have the equipment that the sleep place gave me. It was in a bag ready to go based on my sleep study results I assume. I am unsure why I have a full mask but am wanting to get rid of it. I am a nose breathe...

Re: 2 day user, mask or machine issue?

It says Philips Respironics and System One on the top of the machine. This is the bottom http://i62.tinypic.com/k0srac.jpg When I say the pressure isn't being regulated, I mean the mask tends to suck in towards my face like I have taken a huge breath which is more than the pressure being fed into th...
