Hi all,

Here's my data from last night..


Is this considered as effective treatment?

Should I go for another detailed sleep study? My AHI has been slowly climbing up for the past 3 days, now at 5.4, and last night I was awakened twice by the large outburst of air probably due to the increment of pressure. I did not change any settings, or my sleeping position. But I think something ...

Hi all, Just an update I have been using the hybrid mask for about 10 days. First 5 days was not so good, my AHI fluctuates between 28 - 10. Then i decided to use double pillow (so I am resting on an inclined angle, raising my chest and head higher), and my AHI dropped to range between 1.6-2.8 I wou...

I got the respcare hybrid mask just 2 days back. the problem i am facing is, the nostril pillows will tend to leak at higher pressure (18-20) even though it was fitted properly beforehand.. anybody got some tips in this aspect?

Hi all, unfortunately I do not have an iphone, so I can't use the application mentioned for the sleep position monitoring. But my new Respcare Hybrid mask came. Tried for 2 nights, and got awakened by leakage of air from nose pillow due to the high pressure. At lower pressure it fits nicely, but whe...

Hi Sleeprider, thanks for your advice. will get the Sleep position monitor app and try it out. this was last night's data. I think there are improvements, but i remember myself waking up a few times to adjust my mask for comfort and little leaks. Really need to see if there are any correlations betw...

Thanks Pugsy for your explanations and suggestions! Now I begin to understand more about what is happening. I will try to increase the min pressure for tonight and see if there are any improvements. For reduction in EPR, I tried 2 for a night and that night was not so comfortable, so if after tonigh...

Hi Mudrock, thanks for your advice. Last night i tried to move into my most comfortable sleeping position (side sleeping) and adjusted my mask accordingly. I think generally sleep was good, i got woke up a few times by leaks and high pressure, nonetheless, i managed to wear my mask on for more than ...

Hi all,

thanks for the advice and encouragement.

I am on my own without any support from local DME. I have ordered a hybrid mask to try, hoping that it will improve my current situation.

in the meantime i will just try to get use to wearing a mask to sleep!

Hi Pugsy, I think I was awake at those times probably, given that I remembered being awaken by either the whistling sound of the cushion and the airblasts..

Hi, so sorry I thought they do the same thing, showing the pictures. here the repost from yesterday. http://i.imgur.com/usaJCYT.png http://i.imgur.com/qnzS0gl.png http://i.imgur.com/o7qWtId.png and here is the lastest one, just a short sleep with the machine.. i adjusted EPR to 3, and min pressure t...

zoomed in on the high event parts, and last picture the zero event parts

Hi all, thank you so much for your advices. I have been trying to use the machine every night even though it does not allow me to fall asleep easily. I adjusted my mask and it felt good, until half way through the very high pressure pushed through and flabbing and whistling noises could be heard. Al...

Hi all, Finally after the festive seasons, my new mask came. It was a M size instead of L size. When I first wore it, I felt that it was a much better fit, almost no leakage in my opinion. I was having problems trying to fall asleep. I am not sure what is causing the problem, perhaps the mask, the '...

Hi all, Thanks for your replies! I changed my settings to Pressure min 6.6, max 11 Day 3: Wore my mask only to watch a movie at home, attempting to get used to the mask. Had a hard time getting to sleep with mask and machine on. Woke up several times in the night by either leaks or huge change in pr...
