Re: Please Help Me Adjust My Set-up
I think we have had this discussion before...our breath contains moisture which can also condense in the mask. I know people using cpap without any humidifier and they get condensation in the mask. So that said...my house is at about 65 degrees and I use a setting of 6 for humidity and 86 degrees f...

Re: Please Help Me Adjust My Set-up
What temperature is the heated hose set at? What temperature is your bedroom? Is the condensation just in the mask or in the hose as well? The heated hose won't feel all that warm to touch because the most the air temp can go to is 86 degrees and our bodies are around 98 degrees so just about anyth...

Re: Please Help Me Adjust My Set-up
There's nothing stopping you from adjusting your machine. You just have to know the secret handshake. It's explained in the manual. A combination of button pushing. https://www.respshop.com/manuals/ResMed-AirSense-10-for%20her.pdf Oh...when you have time you might want to correct your machine model...

Re: Please Help Me Adjust My Set-up
When a person prefers a higher humidity setting it just increases the chance of rain out no matter which mask a person uses. It's not just the Bleep...it's any mask. It's Physics in action. There are options though. Increase the heated hose temp if possible. Increase the ambient bedroom temperate. ...

Re: Please Help Me Adjust My Set-up
I have my doubts as to whether a full face mask would fix your dry eye issues and if you thought the headgear on the nasal mask was bad for causing dents and fluid dispersal issues and puffiness....the straps needed for full face masks are greater and then you also have the more real estate to main...

Re: Please Help Me Adjust My Set-up
Can you move enough air through just one nostril to be comfortable? Some people can and some can't. And I am not so sure that taping the nostril would stop the air from going up to the affected eye anyway. It's not so much the nostril that causes the problem as it is the nasal cavity itself. Behind...

Re: Please Help Me Adjust My Set-up
18 out of 20 on mask leak. I would've expected 20 out of 20. I don't think it was leaking at all. Don't forget about mouth opening leak possibility. I need 5 humidity and highest heat or my throat is scratchy. This may not work for the bleep because at the highest heat I get droplets in the tube an...

Re: Please Help Me Adjust My Set-up
SD card 2 GB is more than sufficient but hard to find the smaller capacity cards now. I am using an 8 GB Sandisk card I got at Walmart a while back when I lost my original card. No need to go with the expensive high end SDHC 64 GB cards though. Waste of money. Cheap basic SD card 8 to 16 GB is more...

Re: Please Help Me Adjust My Set-up
Get some strap pads or make some for those side straps going over your cheeks. The puffiness comes from the normal fluids within the skin not being able to float around or disperse well because the strap pressure sort of blocks that needed dispersal. Strap covers help diffuse the pressure and allow...

Re: Please Help Me Adjust My Set-up
If you continue to have dry eye issues you might want to get with your doctor (eye doctor) about it because there is a rare situation where air in the nasal cavity actually travels up the lacrimal ducts to dry out the eyes. There is a remedy for this though. Did you get the diffuser with your Bleep...

Re: Please Help Me Adjust My Set-up
No...the back door being closed isn't airway related as in an apnea event of some sort. It's a reflex valve kind of thing similar to when you blow up a balloon and no air comes out your nose. The valve gets closed. The back door is that valve. Yes...if you get moisture in the hose or mask from incr...

Re: Please Help Me Adjust My Set-up
Air is going up your nose and down your airway and prematurely entering your mouth because the back door from the oral cavity to the airway is open and this causes the pressure to back up against your lips and eventually force itself out the lips. It can happen at any pressure....low or high. Often...
