Need Help

Post by derekt » Sun Sep 12, 2021 11:24 am

Been using a CPAP for 6 months. The first 4 months all was perfect. Then my events starting getting out of control all of a sudden. I've had my machine and equipment checked and they say it's all working, but I can't get a good mask seal now and I am clean shaven, and early on in my use I had a long beard. Still am having seal issues. It also feels like the unit isn't inflating my lungs like it used to. Any help would be appreciated as I am not sure where to turn. Thanks.

welcome to the zoo!

which machine?

which mask?

what are your pressure settings?

we don't all use the same machine or mask, so we need to know so we can help.

good luck!
