Re: Swallowing air

Tonight started better, but I woke with the mask slid up on my face. I played with the straps but eventually took it off. Is that a particular strap (top, middle, lower) My room is fairly cold, I have a heated tube at 71F and humidity was at level 3. Should I adjust the settings? I have ordered line...

Re: Swallowing air

I spoke to someone from the Cpap provider. I am not sure if he was a respiratory therapist. He went over the components and how I am supposed to tighten everything to prevent leakage. He said I can make an appointment to come in if I can't get it working right. I don't think he told me anything new....

Re: Swallowing air

Thanks for all of that @purple22

Yes, I do have some issues with reflux. Not consistently, but sometimes.

I think it was just the way the mask fit last night that I swallowed a lot of air. I am going to do searches.

I am sorry if I ask too much.

Swallowing air

What causes you to swallow air. Full face mask. I had a poor seal last night (unhappy face on resmed) and my stomach was full of air. I didn't notice the leakage while sleeping. It read that I had few episodes during the night.

Re: Fitting problems

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Your answers bring me back to a question I have had. What is wearing the Cpap properly supposed to feel like? I get suction or leaks. Air blowing from the vent into my eyes. Sometimes it does feel like a fan. I am sure I am wearing it properly so...

Fitting problems

I am having trouble adjusting the mask. I don't know how to keep the air flowing properly. I am having more events/hr than I did in the lab. At 14 they had them reduced to none from 24 without, but now they are running from about 8-12/hr even after it has been increased to 15. I don't think the pres...

Cpap turning off during night? (Newbie)

I have another question. I woke in the night and there was no air pressure. My resmed had stopped running after about an hour.I hit the button and it started again. There is plenty of water. Is there something that would cause that? It hasnt happened before. I just want to know if there is something...

Re: New member- what should full face mask feel like (suction?)

With a full face mask does it matter if my mouth is open or closed? I breathe through my nose and mouth. Does anyone get air blowing in your eyes? Doesn't matter as far as your therapy, but you might get a dry mouth. Maybe increase your humidity a bit. What model Resmed do you have? Thank you. I ha...
