Re: Mask seal

Per the sleep tech: One should be able to put the humidifier on as much or as little humi as you please and have it still work. That hasn't worked for me. They let me take the study mask home, I think it is the 'guy' mask. The blue/gray Airfit P10. Tech said the pillows should not be affected by wea...

Re: Mask seal

Thank you. I have the bag of pillows they sold to take into my study. Last night "climate line not working so no humidification ".

I got this machine in April of this year. I don't understand the issues.

Re: Mask seal

Sorry I took so very long to get back. Had a major life moment. I moved to a new area where I am not regularly having cigarette smoke, weed smoke, meth smoke or pesticides entering my cpap. I have not had an asthma attack. I use the Airfit p10 mask, I have used this type since 2018 and didn't have p...

Mask seal

This is the 2nd week in a row MyAir has mentioned my high mask seal. The highest this week has been 28. I tightened the mask and it is averaging 17.7 this week. I feel like my breath is kind of bad when I wake up. I turned the humidifier down since I am using a generator for power for a few weeks. T...

Re: alternate to nasal mask ideas for when congested

In addition to what the others said, I turn the humidification up. It seems to help with nasal and asthma problems.

Ortho Home Defense pesticide

I was sound asleep when roommate sprayed an entire bottle of this stuff over a small nearby area. I awoke feeling sedated and realized I was breathing slowly. I left the area for an hour and recovered and ran my cpap machine for a while to get the chemicals out. This was Sat. night and I had assumed...

Re: Few Questions

Oh, thanks will definitely try that with the hose. I always face it towards me. The humidifier is kind of irritating. I have arthritis my hands ache dealing with it.

Re: New to CPAP but feeling much worse instead of better

Hi Tanuki! I got an apap a month ago and felt super tired at first too. After a few weeks in it seemed my body remembered how to deep sleep and I am no longer sleepy during the day. The other difference I noticed is that my skin is oily instead of slightly dry. Weird, I know. It has helped me to put...

Re: Few Questions

I'm lost on how to copy the image over here.

The unknown apnea correlates exactly with a large leak that went up to approx 100! I had 2 large leaks the first one didn't trigger apnea.
Time in apnea 52 sec
Time in large leak 54 sec

I'll message DME on the rest.

Thank you Miss Emerita!

Few Questions

2 nights ago I remember thinking I was breathing strangely deep breaths. I woke up gasping for air and pulled the mask off. I'm not sure what happened, isn't the machine supposed to be fixing this kind of thing? My AHI averages 0.5. On sleep HQ i got unknown apnea. What does that mean? When I turn o...
