c pap virgin

Post by bridgeit » Fri Jun 19, 2009 2:50 pm

Just had my second nights sleep with the c pap machine not going to bad but I am really tired. How long before you feel rested? Also, is it alright that air is escaping through the hose. I can see this is not going to be easy.

We need to know what equipment you have. It is better if you join and fill out the equipment profile (text not icons).

Air escaping through the hose is usually a bad thing - something is not right.

But you will have air escaping from the device (mask). This is necessary to vent your co2.

But, as Rooster said, we need to know what equipment you have to be able to help with any detail.
Masks I've tried but didn't like :
FlexiFit HC405 - couldn't stop the leaks

Is the air that is escaping suppose to escape? Is it up by your nose? If it is air is suppose to come out there. It is there so you can exhale.
