But I cant even use that at present as my gums are sore from having all my back teeth extracted. The plastic inside presses onto the extraction sites

I need to keep my mouth open as my nasal airways are restricted

To avoid disruptive pressure increases, you could always lower your maximum, but I'm not going to recommend that without seeing a lot more information from you, preferable via Oscar charts. You might ask your doctor or dentist to recommend a safe device to prop open your mouth during the night. I h...

Im on Warfarin, you call it Coumadin over there, for life and the ENT doc thought the risk of surgery was too great.
As he said "I can still breath through my mouth"

Nasal polyps and a deviated septum. Then when my mouth closes or my oral airway gets blocked the Resmed Apap sees tons of flow limitation and it thinks that can be fixed by increasing the pressure to maximum. Im posting this again as I woke up this morning feeling worse than I have done for ages. So...

I have used FF masks for all of my 14 CPAP years and have found that masks with the forehead support are the most stable and have the fewest leaks. I like the F&P masks....Simplus or Vitera.

I use the F &P Vitera mask but with Simplus headgear which works well

I have posted about this in the past but would still like to know how to keep my mouth open and my oral airways clear. This is using a Simplus or Vitera mask

im wondering if using the humidifier is causing the problem so will try it tonight without it .I have some Xylimelts if my mouth gets too dry. BUT I tried it this afternoon, for a hour or so, without the humidifier and it has left me with a sore tongue. OUCH!!! So will try tonight with the humidifie...

I consider a change in pressure from 10cm to 20cm in about 5 mins or less a jump

In my case the pressure can stay at the maximum set for over 4 hours so thats hardly up to

With me its entirely the 95% pressure that the machine runs at.
16.8 means a sore head whilst 14.9 means I feel good.
The problem is trying to find out why the pressure varies from night to night

Exactly the same problem that I have had for years,
Its very unpredictable so it makes it difficult to plan ahead as i dont know how I will feel from day to day.
I thought I had beaten it with a setting change but its still bad this morning

I have posted about similar waveforms in the past and nobody is sure why these waveforms occur. I dont look at Sleepyhead/ Oscar any more .

What about using a nasal mask or else nasal pillows? No effect on the jaw or teeth. Nothing touching areas that would be sensitive to you. I cant use a nasal mask as I have nasal polyps and a deviated septum. If I try to use a nasal mask the cpap sees my nasal obstructions as a flow limitation and ...

The damage has now been done as I have a very painful dry socket
