I've used both: AirTouch - Extremely comfortable, but leakage is variable (from zero leaks to a gale). The cushion does not last well - I've had some split after a few weeks. AirFit - Reasonably comfortable, but does raise a pressure sore on the bridge of my nose. Cushions last a long time - up to a...

Microsoft Defender is blocking Oscar 2.0.1

Read the manual! https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.p ... n:_Windows

1) the machine's humidifier is currently inoperable,

I've learned something new. I am surprised that the humidifier is linked to airplane mode.

Thanks for the responses. As requested, here is the mask pressure trace. I won't be able to respond further for at least a few days due to some stuff happening.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll work through them and see what happens.

Hi all I use a Resmed Aircurve 10 ASV. For years my AHI has always been less than 2.0 and my hours have been good enough. Over the past few months, AHI has gone high and I'm turning the machine off in my sleep. I have tried increasing pressures including max & min EPAP as well as increased PS max & ...

Good advice there from Ozij. In particular: Not every mask will fit you It may just be that the F20 doesn't suit the shape of your face and you might need to try a different mask. There are dozens of models out there, and sometimes you need to try more than a few to find one that really suits you. T...

A dry mouth is often a sign of leaking. And if airflow is heard but not inhaled, it's also probably a sign of leaking. What do your Oscar / SleepHQ charts show? And what type of mask are you using?

That's a huge improvement, and I hope it is sustainable, not just a one-off. So please let us know how it goes over a period of time. Even though you have some periodic breathing, it's not prolonged enough to be a worry. The main question now is whether you can feel any difference? Do you feel more ...

Enough with the comments about comments and the trash talk and slurs. Get on topic or STFU. Agreed. So today I got my sleep test back and it was extremely bad. Didn't have a chance to talk with my ENT. I am meeting with him Friday. However I WAS quoted $1300 by his staff and I CAN get a brand new u...

The doc I am currently seeing claims a cystoscopy w/ out meds (he puts his patients under) is barbaric. I wonder who's making the most money here? I had a cytoscopy a few years ago - no general anaesthetic, just local applied as a gel on the device. It was quite comfortable and no additional meds w...

F9 on my keyboard just closes the window. I'm on a Mac.

G'day Linsday. Yes, that definitely looks like genuine central apnea and CSR. Off to the doctor you go - this needs to be sorted. In the meantime, you could try adjusting the pressure - as a first guess, I'd set the machine to CPAP mode (not automatic) with a fixed pressure of 7.0 , and turn EPR off...
