Re: Waking up every few hours

I haven't tried a fixed pressure or a narrow range. Do you think it's worth trying? I've used an open range (4/20) for years and it's always worked ok. Until the last six months! I am willing to give it a go though. I do have a ramp feature on my new machine, which I do press sometimes when I wake u...

Re: Waking up every few hours

Waking up every few hours

Hello all, I was diagnosed with OSA about five years ago, for the most part the CPAP was the ideal cure. However, over the last six months I have been waking up every two hours or so with a dry mouth. I am also starting to feel fatigued during the day. I used to use a Resmed S9 which I purchased mys...
