I agree. First time I have taken one in well over a year but that showed me that maybe my problem is NOT too much pressure causing the leaks. Even my sleep doc (Board Certified Sleep Apnea Neurologist) agreed that lowering the pressure might be helpful. I will hold off doing that and see if I can fi...

Last night thought I should take some sleep medicine (Dr. prescribed).

Which one?

Ambien. Not a real fan of it. Took it about 45 minutes before bedtime and slept 9 hours and still woke up a little drowsy.

Interesting results. Sunday night only slept for about 3.5 hours. Last night thought I should take some sleep medicine (Dr. prescribed). Slept 8.55 hours. AHI's were 0.0. Only about 4% large leaks with longest at 4 minutes (95% at 24.0 or below). Seriously....the best night's sleep I have had in at ...

Do the leaks disturb your sleep at all? Wake you up much?

Leaks sometimes wake me up but am usually able to fall back asleep soon after, however, my wife complains about the leak noise more than I do. On occasion, I do sleep through most of the leaks.

I get similar results when wearing a chinstrap or taping my mouth shut so pretty sure most leaks are actually "mask leaks". That mask is usually easy to get and keep a seal, even at high pressures. You might want to find it on YouTube and watch some videos on fitting and adjusting. I'll let others ...

Just to see if I understand this correctly. If I left machine on ASV Auto and left PS at 4-15 and changed EPAP to 5 min and 5 max OR switched machine to ASV mode and set EPAP to 5 and PS at 4-15 they would both be the same. Either one would max out my pressure at 20. Not sure what you meant by "peg ...

Not sure what information you want to see, so here is most of it.

Last night was pretty typical of many nights. 95% leak rate was 39.6 and time was 20.23%. Total AHI was 0.72 (4 events in 5.35 hours). Longest leak was about 27 minutes between 1:00-1:30AM and I was not aware of it.

I seem to be having numerous mask large leaks, mostly (not always) starting when the pressure goes up over 20. I get similar results when wearing a chinstrap or taping my mouth shut so pretty sure most leaks are actually "mask leaks". So, I would like to reduce the IPAP maximum somewhat to see if I ...

Check out eBay for "mouth seal tape" and you will see numerous sales for strips that are "X" shaped. They come in package of 150 for about $8.00 shipped from China so it will take a while to get them. I have some that I purchased a few years ago that still work fine. I used one last week but don't u...

I have some other sleep strips that are shaped like the letter "X". They stick very well but I am not using them. If you would like to try some, send me your mailing address via PM and I will send a few to you to try. No charge!!!! I know that they are available at Amazon and eBay.

It's no secret. I deleted the description and images.....maybe I should have left them. I listed and sold it for $400.00. I know that is very inexpensive but there were some lines on the LCD screen which had no effect on the operation of the machine. I've seen things like that on computer screens on...

I had a very similar problem of noise when inhaling. I called my DME and let them listen on the phone and they diagnosed it as bad bearing sound, so they replaced my machine.

Sale pending.

Sold!!!
