I keep removing my mask while sleeping
Any suggestions? I had to switch from nasal pillows to a full face mask because of a mouth leak, and I'm having issues getting adjusted. It was OK for a while, but lately I've started taking the mask off without remembering that I did. Any suggestions are welcome. I will be getting a new bed this we...

Re: Problems getting started. I have questions on ramping and PS settings
Just because you use a full face mask doesn't mean that you have to sleep on your back (which can make OSA worse and cause more pressure to be needed). Now figuring out how to sleep on your side with the mask on can be a challenge but it can be done. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/respironics-dre...

Re: Problems getting started. I have questions on ramping and PS settings
Which full face mask did you get and have been trying? It's the resmed mask. It hasn't been leaking, the pillows were, but I'll adjust the straps again to make sure they aren't too tight. I'm also having to get used to sleeping on my back, so fun times all around ;) It's actually been a lot less un...

Re: Problems getting started. I have questions on ramping and PS settings
I've never seen an obstructive or central apnea in sleepyhead, only unknowns. Yes....with the ASV machine all it does is report unknowns or unclassified. Even if you were to use ResScan that's all you would get...hyponeas and unknowns. In theory those unknowns are obstructive apneas because if you ...

Re: Problems getting started. I have questions on ramping and PS settings
If your mask is leaking, more pressure will increase the problem, not fix it, so which mask is it? Don't overtighten though as that can cause more trouble... better to get fitted well, in the right size etc, or try other FFMs. When I tried the pillows, it leaked through the mouth, which is what got...

Re: Problems getting started. I have questions on ramping and PS settings
I've never seen an obstructive or central apnea in sleepyhead, only unknowns. Those settings are based on a sleep study. I'm going to go back to the stock settings for a while, but remove the ramp and bump of the support pressure and see if I can get a full night's sleep before posting anything more...

Problems getting started. I have questions on ramping and PS settings
I've got an Aircurve 10 ASVAuto Settings are EPAP 9-15 PS 4-9 I've played with the EPAP setting, pulling down the high end a bit, but it seems to make things a bit worse if anything. I'm seeing UAs and Hypopneas. I was set up with pillows and did the sleep study with them, they actually worked well ...
