I now have a mask that goes over my nose

After 2 years wearing a full face mask I started having a problem with feeling like I am getting too much air when I am sleeping with full face mask. I feel like my chest is ready to burst with air. I take the mask off and I start burping like crazy and passing gas as well. So the doctor put me on a...

full face mask red marks

Is there anyway to prevent your cheeks from getting red marks after having the full face mask on all night? It almost takes 10 hours for the marks to fade. I am allergic to latex.

Re: Question re Airsense 10 and tubing

Hi everybody. Easy question of the day, I hope. My DME sent me a new tube the other day, only I forgot to tell them that I have been using the 15mm tubing and so they sent me the 19mm tubing. My bad. But, is there any sort of adjustment with my Airsense 10 (i.e. a setting change) that needs to be m...

redness on bridge of nose

I have a Resmed Airfcurve 10. Since I just got a replacement full face mask after 6months of use I have developed a large red spit on the bridge of my nose. It itches as well. I do have a latex allergy but never had this problem occur with my previous masks. Has Res Med changed something about their...

Re: Lost power

Where do you purchase the Goal Zero Battery? Does insurance cover it as well? Will it work on any c pap machine? Thanks for answering. Really am worried that I will not wake up if the power goes out. Got my machine last Sept. and never had this problem before. Hurricane season is here now so the pro...

Lost power

The other night while I was wearing my mask and sleeping we lost our power. I awoke gasping for breath not knowing what had happened. Apparently there was a bad storm and the power went out for a short period. Since we live in Florida and are subject to losing power during hurricanes is there any wa...

Any water works just fine in any CPAP. If you don't use Distilled, there will be some mineral build up that can be cleaned with Vinigar and water. No big deal.
What is the correct way to clean with vinegar? Do you use it straight ?
Thanks for your help.

Re: diameter of CPAP hose???

It may be obvious to you but it's Greek to me. My original is a slimline unheated now they sent me a much wider unheated hose. Please help and tell me what to do. What setting do I need to go to. With the settings as they are now with the wider hose the Resmed makes so much noise I cannot sleep nor ...

Re: diameter of CPAP hose???

Thanks for the info. So depending on the increase in diameter what do I adjust the settings to? I have it set now with the ramp off. This was how it was set with the narrower tubing. What do I adjust ramp to or is it something else that I need to adjust? I really appreciate your advise. The DME does...

I put my old hose back on and it is quiet. I noticed that the new hose has a larger diameter, and has a different color of stripping(grey ...
