Re: ResMed AirSense 10, cant use humidifier without side effects

So I am happy to report that after years of using CPAP, I am 2 days side effect free while using the Humidifier. I recently replaced the nasal pillow and mask harness. I don't know if they changed the design or what but I used to use the large nasal pillow and it felt restrictive. I ordered a new ha...

Re: ResMed AirSense 10, cant use humidifier without side effects

lol,agreed. i did not mean that i could not fully collapse my lungs, that would be a rather painful medical emergency. typically when you inhale and exhale it’s not a steady amount of volume displaced over time rather it is a larger amount of air initially followed by a slower moving smaller amount ...

Re: ResMed AirSense 10, cant use humidifier without side effects

I tried the humidifier again on Thursday night. I put the humidity on auto. The temperature on auto as well. The side effects all of friday day were worse than I remembered (I haven't tried in about 6 months). Not only is it a feeling of light headedness but also a feeling of being a little short on...

Re: ResMed AirSense 10, cant use humidifier without side effects

I think the sinus thing is normal. It swaps sides ever day or two sometimes when i lay on one side it changes sides. Before cpap that would only happen when i was sick or when it got dry during the winter. I downloaded OSCAR but i still need to figure where the memory card is in my resmed. i’ll prob...

Re: ResMed AirSense 10, cant use humidifier without side effects

Since I no longer use the humdifier or heat, one of my nostrils is always closed. When I was using the humidifier both nostrils would stay open. I do not suffer from dry mouth. Dry throat is not that bad but often my lungs feel dry during the day. By closed nostril I mean my sinus on one side of my ...

Re: ResMed AirSense 10, cant use humidifier without side effects

I have used different sourced distilled water. I have also tried tap water. They do not seem to make a difference other than the tap water leaves a thin film of minerals on my water tank that I then have to scrub off. I have stepped through the humidifier settings on a daily / weekly basis to see if...

ResMed AirSense 10, cant use humidifier without side effects

Hi, I am in the US and I have been using my ResMed AirSense 10 for around 2-3 years now. I have used it every night 4 - 10 hours depending how long I sleep, with zero breaks in between. I don't even take a nap without it. Anyway I found that if I use the humidifier in it for even one night I get lig...
