I just got a new Dreamwear headgear

Post by kyela » Mon Nov 26, 2018 10:28 pm

Hello everyone,

Last week I got fitted with the dreamwear headgear i wear a small on the nasal portion i've tried it with the medium frame its a bit tight and with the large frame it fits fine but I have some issues with it as though i feel like I am not getting enough air. I feel like as though i have to take really long breaths not sure if i should adjust my flex on my cpap or not..

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
~Kyela

Also i checked my air pressure has been normally ranged from 10.0-10.5 when i was using the nasal pillow, but now with the new dreamwear my pressure has gone up to 11.5.

Did you change the setting to nasal mask? The fact you are using a nasal mask instead of nasal pillows may account for the pressure increasw.
