Re: Cpap machine noises

Den...
Thank you thank you thank you!! My humidity temp. Was too high. I had it on 6. When I put it back to 4, no more problems! I am going to look into a cover for my hose, though! My new hose is darker than my original, and a little longer, which I LOVE!

Re: Cpap machine noises

My machine is lower than I am, so it's not that!! When I checked the hose, it is WET...so yes, somehow water is getting into the hose, I don't know how!! I am going to check the humidity level tonight, and try to lower it if I can, and then I am going to put LESS water in the chamber and see if that...

Cpap machine noises

Why is my machine making a noise like water is in the tube every time I breathe? I just got new tubes. Can this be the reason? Or do I not have enough water in the humidifier chamber? This has never happened before!

Re: First night with CPAP….nostrils killing me!!! :(

I tried nasal pillows, and my nose hurt for a week!! It never got better with them, so I switched to a different mask...Problem was solved instantly!!!

Re: Elan Mask

It is an auto set. My humidifier just says H5i. I hope I put the right thing on my equipment profile. I will go back and edit now!! Thanks for your help!

Re: Recommend a minimal nasal mask

I just switched from Mirage FX to Sleepweaver Elan cloth mask and I LOVE it!! The plastic masks always left marks on my skin, even when using the filter things

Re: Possible suffocation... sort of.

Okay, now I'm really confused! I can't change ANYTHING on my machine! If I have any problems, it has to be done by my doctor! How do you guys change your own machine settings?

Re: Elan Mask

Okay, I filled out the equipment profile. I selected Resmed 8 machine, only because that was all they had to choose from, I actually use a Resmed 9 machine with a heated humidifier. My pressure level is 6.

Re: Elan Mask

Thanks! My question is this...it says that the mask should be snug, but not tight. When I wake up in the morning, I have marks on my cheeks from the mask. Does this mean that I am, indeed wearing it too tight, or is this normal for the Elan mask? Also, how often should it be replaced? Thanks!!
