Thanks to all who have responded and offered suggestions. I had no idea the minimum pressure was so important, but given the explanations that's logical. Last night I was able to persuade him to raise the minimum pressure to 5 and he insisted that the maximum be 12. I explained that the minimum need...

Thanks for your response. 1. I am planning to use OSCAR. I used Sleepyhead several years ago and found it quite valuable. At this point I only have 4 hours of data. 2. I have watched a couple of fit videos and will watch them with him before tonight. I think the mask does fit pretty well at reasonab...

I've been using a CPAP machine for 22 years now and I've benefitted from being a member of this forum for almost all of that time. I currently have an Airsense 10 Elite. My pressure has been fixed at 9 since the beginning. My AHI is consistently under 1. I use an Airfit N30 mask. As far as I am conc...

I am using the same hose and humidifier. All settings are the same.

I have both an Airsense 10 Elite and an Airsense 10 Autoset, both set to a fixed pressure of 9. I have been using the Elite for most of the past 6 months. I have been using a Dreamwear nasal pillow mask for over a year. I have almost never gotten a red frowny face for mask fit until the last two wee...

I have a bunch of small pillows for the Swift FX that I no longer need. Some of them are still sealed in their giant ResMed plastic bags, most of them are in their small zipper bags. All are unopened and unused. I don't want to add them to the list fill. If anyone can use them, pm me and I'll send t...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Since simplicity and size are my big issue, I'll invest in a guage manometer if I decide to buy an XT Fit.

For four years I travelled with a Zzzz-PAp machine, a forerunner to the current XT Fit machine. It failed in the middle of a trip, causing an episode of atrial fibrillation, but I had no idea that it had failed until my doctor checked it out -- it was blowing air but at a pressure of about 3. I'd li...

I'm not waking up. In fact my Fitbit says I'm in deep sleep. I'll try the x-small pillows tonight.

Thanks, Pugsey, for ALL your help.

I have a new AirSense 10 Elite and am enjoying the information I can get from that and from SleepyHead. For the last several nights I've had an AHI in the 1.0 area, with a high of 1.69 and a low of 0.57. I have had a green smiley face on mask fit. But I have a high leak rate. I use a Swift FX and ha...

Restart your Fitbit? https://www.imore.com/how-restart-your-fitbit-tracker I read that on a Fitbit discussion while trying to get mine to sync. Other procedure suggested: Turn Bluetooth on on your phine Log out of the Fitbit app Restart your phone Log back in to the Fitbit app It should start syncin...

Over the last week I've had from 15 minutes to 1 hour 11 minutes of deep sleep, tending toward the lower values. During my deep sleep periods I'm having no leaks or hypopneas. But I don't see any correlation between leaks and hypopneas and light or REM sleep. I'm not sure how much I trust the fitbit...
