what does it indicate when the CPAP machine after it has been on for about 5 hours starts making sounds in the tubing like popping, knocking, etc. My humidifier is set on 5 & the tubing temp is set on 68 which blows out cooler air which I like.

Re: Newbie here
What is a good setting so one doesn't feel air starved when putting on my mask. My settings on my autoset are 7-15. Can I get more air if it is set to 10 -15 or is that too much? I don't feel much air blowing when awake & putting on my mask.

Re: Newbie here
Okay my therapist changed the air pressure to read 7-15 range. Is this a better range for a newbie with auto settings? It is a little better but still not great. Is 8 or 9 too much?

Re: Newbie here
I can't change any settings that I know of. I am set at between 5 & 15. I had a home sleep study so I guess I have a range of settings & I can't increase them on my own. I am going to change masks on Thursday to the Res Med nasal mask which fits over the whole nose, not sure what the number is thoug...

Hi everyone, I am just starting my CPAP in the last few days. I have an auto titrated machine set to be between 5 & 15. It is an ResMed Air Sense 10 with a nasal mask that fits under the nose. My problem is the mask produces air when I have it on but not very much & I can hardly breathe. I am wearin...
