Suddenly now, leaks
Suddenly, I seem to have a leak problem with my mask. I have been using Swift LT as my go to mask since starting PAP a little over 2 years ago. Things had been going along pretty well - alternating between LT and Opus 360 - until I decided to check my numbers yesterday. I had not checked for a couple of months. I was surprised to see that for the last week (maybe longer) my leak line had not been the semi-straight zipper that it use to be. ALl of a sudden its gone wacko. I can't explain it - nothing different is going on otherwise. The nasal pillows are relatively new (less than a month old), and are still flexible. Headgear is not too tight or too loose. I don't think I am mouth breathing. I am waking up feeling pretty good - and sometimes without the alarm, my AHI is good - 1-5 to 3.5. Don't know what the problem is. Suggestions?

Re: Suddenly now, leaks
do you tape or use something to make sure that your mouth is closed?
If not... try it... if nothing else to rule out mouth leaks

Re: Suddenly now, leaks
I use to tape, then stopped - and saw no difference in leaks. I will give it a try again to see if that is the problem, but I don't wake up with the dry mouth, etc that are usual signs of mouth breathing.
