It might be worthwhile to at least set the Flex to 3 if you have not already.

Thank you! I tried that last night and felt much clearer and energetic this morning.

At what point in the respiration cycle? the co2 concentration varies wildly. The inside mask readings? I stick the meter in just before I would naturally breathe in (but holding my breath). My CO2 monitor is designed to reflect ambient CO2, and doesn't respond quickly enough to record the ups and d...

I've never encountered a CPAP mask that has any significant amount of CO2 rebreathing. It's very easy to tell, as I'm breathing, I can feel the vent air change temperature as it's purging my exhaled breath and goes cool again before the next inhalation. That doesn't mean all the CO2 is gone, but th...

If you are referring to anti-asphyxiation valves, they are not intended to reduce rebreathing. The valve remains closed in normal operation. It opens if the machine shuts off so you can get enough air. Thanks, that's very helpful information. Unfortunately, the options are limited with your machine...

Has this sensitivity been medically confirmed? If so, then you should be referred to an appropriate specialist for treatment. The source could be physical or psychological, but not treatable online. Yes, it has been confirmed medically, and the treatment is to avoid high CO2 environments. I'm not l...

Newbie here, looking for recommendations for types of masks and/or tubing to minimize rebreathing as much as possible. I know all masks have sufficient venting to be safe, but I'm very sensitive to elevated CO2 levels (can't go in malls, airplanes, or many office buildings because the CO2 is too hig...
