Not a fan of firmware updates during my therapy! :lol: :lol: I don't think that you have to lose sleep worrying about that happening. ResMed is real stingy with their over the air upgrades....I know of one...maybe 2 in all my 15 years using cpap. I was not aware you could 'pause' a session... I jus...

I've had my Resmed Airsense 10 for five years, and it works great, and I'm comfortable with CPAP, which is why I don't come to this site often. But I noticed something odd this week for the first time ever - in the middle of the night, rolling over, I saw the dial/knob on it light up. I asked my wif...

Clarifying what I said, the AHI was 1.7. Are you concerned about an AHI of 1.7? It's easy to register that in a night of normal, healthy sleep. But to answer your question, a burp that is 10 seconds or longer might possibly be registered as an event. Thank goodness, none of my burps would have regi...

but my AHI was 1.7 - 2-3x normal

And just what was your AHI last night? As far as we know, it was 1.0. Or maybe 10.0.

Clarifying what I said, the AHI was 1.7.

Which is 2-3x normal.

Last night I had the same restful sleep I always do, but my AHI was 1.7 - 2-3x normal, and unusual for when I know I slept well. But I did have a spicy dinner, and, especially right after going to bed, was burping a lot. Can a burp be counted as an event, thus driving up my AHI number?

Well, if only all problems were that simple.

With the water tank closed properly, my leaks dropped from average of 20+ over the past several days, to 1 lpm last night!

Just to cover the bases: Are you completely sure you're using the same size of pillow at each change-over? Is it possible the leaks are coming from your mouth? And have you tried figuring out whether you do in fact have a leak somewhere between the machine and the mask? Absolutely sure on size - al...

also, you say that you clean it every day. how? do you mean with detergent? or a baby wipe? i clean mine every day with a baby wipe and with detergent once in a blue moon. i have been using the p10 mask for several years now with no leaks. good luck! Most days I gently use a warm washcloth to clean...

I find a horrible inconsistency on "fit" for my Airsense 10 nasal pillows. Out of ignorance and inertia, I used my first air pillows for five months, cleaning daily of course. For the last six weeks, I was essentially at 0-2 lpm leak each night - 2/3 of that time was zero leaks. When I got my first ...

Not the dumbest thing I've done, but not the smartest either. Just playing "what if," I tried a night without CPAP after more than a year using it. I'll often feel "at one" - with the room, with my wife - as I turn out the lights, and masking up certainly ends that "at-one-ness." Which is a main rea...

Thanks. I sort of figured/hoped this was normal, but wanted to get my arms around what had happened.

One of the phenomena I experienced on starting CPAP a year ago this month, was a "drowning" sensation if I opened my mouth, followed by, essentially, a "suction" that would close my mouth. Which is as it probably should be; I use nasal pillows, so the CPAP benefits are delivered 100% through the nos...

I have an Airsense 10. Two months after I started on CPAP, my experience was optimized enough that I was complaining about the air temperature and the humidity. Turning my humidity down from the midpoint initial setting felt great, and I incrementally went down to zero, and it was great and I've bee...

I've been on CPAP for about a year. Didn't want to go that route, and fought the diagnosis, because, other than bad snoring, I had none of the other symptoms. I slept great at night, and didn't feel fatigued during the day. But my sleep study AHI was 45-ish, I think. I looked first at using an oral ...

Closing the loop on this topic. When I went to bed last night, the tubing was still acceptably flexible, and "played nice" with me. No stiffness, kinks, "mind of its own." I also had a lower AHI than I'd had before with this tube. So the "fix" was running it in a clothes dryer for two minutes, buffe...
