I don't really fiddle with the mask, but I think it isn't right for me. I ordered a dreamwear one, and will see if it does better. AS for sleep quality, that is hard to say. I know I toss in the night, I know i flip sides, I can say that once or twice I woke up briefly. I don't touch the mask at all...

So, here is my latest graph, dropped the pressure to 10cm, as it is more comfortable to me. Results are about stable at this point to 4 AHI. Honestly they aren't bad compared to what they were before. Now if I could only understand why I feel so bad. I am steel feeling tired AF, cranky. I honestly d...

I believe the mask is Swift FX nasal pillow ? As for how many times I wake up, well i'd say 3-4. I am still having trouble with the hose, the fact that it is in front does not help. I am thinking about getting the philips dreamwear one. as for my sleep quality, it is hard to say.. as you can imagine...

* edit graph for clarity

Just a quick update : what a difference, I am now down to about 3-4 AHI I now use 11min to 20 max, with some comfort settings tweaked, things go very much better. How would you suggest I proceed from here ? What would be the way to proceed forward ? I am looking at getting a new mask, to be more com...

Thanks for all the feedback and advice. I am not sure how long I was awake in fact, the thing I remember is having a hard time falling asleep. I will try setting the machine at 10.5 --20 tonight I think as for the mask, it looks like the one in the picture but I don't really like it, I am looking at...

I had some awake time but not much. Mostly I had trouble falling asleep as I didn't realize I could use the ramp even with auto mode (duh) I thought it was only in fixed mode for some reason. Once I figured I could enable the ramp, and with the A-Flex I was much more comfortable and it was much easi...

Well, first of all, a HUGE thank you to everyone who took the time to answer. It makes a world of difference to me, knowing whats normal and whats not, what to expect, etc.. Every bit of advice helps, I read a lot, including the newbie sections of this forum, but its a lot to take on, and I don't ha...

thank you, and pugs rock !
how old is yours ?
I have a boy pug named merlin, 4 and a half, and he is the best dog ever.

Thanks again,
one more question, using higher pressure, it becomes kinda harder to exhale, I know the dreamstation has a setting for that called a-flex, can I play a little with it to find what feels good, or is it dangerous ?

Thanks everyone for the answers, So the mask I am using is a nose pillow ? I think, is soft thing with two knobs going into the nose So best thing would be trying 9-16 or 9-20 in apap mode ? and see what it does ? Anything else I should knowm any advice ? I really hope I see results, I am so f.. fed...

Hello everyone. So here is a condensed version of my story : I have been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, my ahi where about 104 on my back, which is about 50% of the night and 64 the rest of the time. (oxygenation got down to 68-70, pulse up to 110(max), longest pauses where 70secs, with an avera...
