Re: Amara View mask

I also had trouble with leaks and the Amara view. Switched to Airfit Nasal Pillows and they are great.

Re: can switching to mask from pillows reduce apnea ?

Many experts here but I’ll give you my personal experience. It helped me and I am still new. Felt the same way about the mask.

My suggestion would be try it at least and see if it helps.

Nasal Pillows question

So I recently switched from Full face mask to Resmed Airfit P10 nasal pillows. Much happier with this setup. My AHI for the last few days have been under 1. I am still a new CPAP user since 7/27/18 - So not quite a month yet. One question - the pillows are making the inside of my nostrils a little s...

Re: Newby - Need help with charts

Here is the proper view I believe - I also am not wearing a chin strap. However, mouth was not dry when I woke up today.

My questions are: (1) higher leak rate shown but I don't have the feeling of air starved and AHI's look good. (it's only one night, I know). 2) ...

Re: Newby - Need help with charts

Thanks - I have a question about the EPR setting on the Resmed Airsense 10. Mine is currently set to 3. Should I try ramping down to 1 or 2? I am not familiar with that setting.
