Re: locked out of air pressure settings?

I had to call the clinic and ask them to do it. Apparently, Kaiser controls that part. But I am doing better with the thing. I still cannot sleep much past 4 hours, but at least i can now exhale.

Re: locked out of air pressure settings?

Thanks for your help Pugsy. I am now using a n20, but still having issues with exhaling at min set at 6. Also, it has not helped my severe morning migraine caused by apnea. It has been 3 1/2 weeks since I have been on this thing. I manage to keep it on tween 3-5 hrs a nite before I wake realising I ...

What pressure you are using?
Are you using the ramp feature?

I have the ramp set at 30 mins
the pressure is set at 4-8
Does this help?

Has anyone ever added a hole to their mask? I have a p10 I cannot exhale in

It has been over two weeks since I started with a cpap and I have tried the airfit N20, which i can exhale from, but it hurts my face far too much. My P10 is the best for face pressure, but I cannot exhale so I take it off. My idea is to take a 1mm jewelry bit and enlarge a couple holes so I can exh...

Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

I have done loads of research on the ResMed Swift FX Nano Mask. The PT I see refuses to get it for me, saying it is an old mask choice and not any good. I still want it and have found it for 120.00. What about it do you like? Any issues with the fit? I have the Resmed airfit N20 and hate the fit a I...

Re: What's your favorite over the nose nasal mask?

WHAT mask does everyone use? lookin for a good one

I have too much pain with the resmed airfit N20. It is painful to use and I cannot adjust it well enough to tolerate it, and it leaks. But the exhale with this one is good. I also have the P10, but finding it very hard to exhale, too hard. I really want to find a good one. My pt said the ResMed Swif...

locked out of air pressure settings?

The air pressure is too high and I asked the person who uses remote to lower it and they made it worse! I could not wear the ResMed 10 last night. I risk getting Severe, and i do mean severe morning migraines if I do not, but I could not keep it on after she "readjusted" the bloody thing. IS there ...

problems Exhaling

:? I have real trouble exhaling and panic. I just got the air fit N20. It leaks, it is painful and not meant for a side sleeper. What else is there that will help me exhale?
