Been using CPAP for 3 months and continue to have bad results reference to "Mask Seal". My average is 35 10/20 L/Min
During past 10 days replaced tubing, filter and mask and made sure no leaks
Made sure Head-gear isn't too loose or too tight. And fits according to the machine standards
Made sure my tank is cleaned daily
Use distilled water
I also use chin strap and/or mouth tape
Events 1-2
Pressure 4-18
Sleep 5 hours per night
Take 3-4 naps per day unconditionally
Very rarely get up during night
Have zero energy
My neck has been greatly effected since CPAP start-up date. Need to take MRI and ENG. Currently on pain and dizziness medication, including lower back
Wake with bloody nose
Cramping and Spasms a 10
The Mask Seal info was just a lead-in more serious problems, which started 3 months ago.
Thanks
Jack

Re: Mask Seal Leak and Other Problems
Need Sleepyhead Charts...Your profile says you have a fixed pressure machine yet you say your pressure setting is 4/18

Re: Mask Seal Leak and Other Problems
And without knowing WHICH mask you are using, it's hard to help you with a mask seal issue. Please fill in your user profile or at least tell us which make and model of mask you are using and if you are using a mask liner or anything on your face before donning the mask.
