Snoring while ON cpap

Post by RomeinDNVR » Thu Sep 28, 2017 11:54 am

Hey guys--

I have been on CPAP therapy for about 6 years (or so) and have had great results until the last couple months. I have been waking up a lot at night lately, I adjust my position and then go back to sleep. This last weekend a friend of mine said I was snoring loudly while wearing my CPAP mask. My mouth is closed while I am snoring.

Right now I am running a pressure of 14 to 20 with my average pressure 18.9 per my machine. Is it possible that I need an even stronger pressure to keep from snoring?

I am sure I will probably need another sleep study to determine next steps, just hoping someone on this board has had the same experience as I on this.

Thanks,
Rome

Why aren't you taking control of your own treatment, use Sleepyhead , you will find out your treatment needs to be better. Jim probably leaking too much or pressure too low. Jim
Use data to optimize your xPAP treatment!

Yes, it's possible. Which means you'd need a bilevel, the extra inhalation pressure possible could nip that snoring in the bud.
