Events vs leaks

Post by BlackRaven135 » Tue May 26, 2020 8:04 pm

I have been experiencing increased events yet no leaks.
The events are thankfully still less than 5, but 4 is disturbing when I had been having 1 or 2 at the most.
I am wondering why this is happening.
(I use a nasal mask. . .a ReMed Air Sense 10 with ClimateLine)
Any thoughts?

Not enough information provided to offer any thoughts as to why events are increasing.
They aren't always tied to leaks anyway.
Sleep position maybe...what kind of events are increasing...awake vs asleep flagged events maybe.

Need to see the detailed reports to have any chance of coming up with anything but a WAG...wild ass guess.

Any reason to believe you may not be mouth breathing all night once asleep? That can make a big difference and trying a full face mask could help if that's the problem

And gaining even a little weight can make a big difference - being stuck at home will do that!

Any new meds you're taking that might make a difference?

Other 'life' changes?
