Still not sleeping great!!

Post by kjarels » Tue Nov 06, 2007 9:38 am

Ok I have been using a cpap machine since 2003 and I haven't noticed that much difference about the quality of sleep. I got a new machine and a new resmed quattro full mask last week and my AHI have actually gone up. I was averaging around 1.8 and last night my AHI was around 8. I am a mouth breather so I am trying the full mask which to be honest I can not stand having on my face. The leakage has been around 0.48-0.78 a night so far. I like the nasal pillows better and have tried the chin straps hoping that would keep my mouth shut but still has not worked that well. Any ideas?? I have also tried the hybrid mask as well.
