"Just to tidy this up, I finally had an in-person review by my sleep clinic yesterday, who agreed the ResMed AirSense 10 was "wheezy" and replaced the machine."

Another sad story
I'm sure Kath would have got around to posting this sad story, it just makes me think how lucky we have been to be diagnosed.
James Gray Bolton
by Brenda
(Baton Rouge, LA)
He was my beautiful Irish man, blue eyes, Blond hair and a heart of gold! on the 12th of January he would have been 54 years,old!
He had sleep apnea he did not believe me'. He was the love of my life, strong, vibrant, life was in front of us!
He complained of headaches, stress, fatigue, and never stopped!!!!!
Sudden death from a stroke! I still don't believe he is gone but I know in my heart it was the sleep apnea that ultimately caused this pain in my heart!!!
I have a great need to let others know that unless untreated, you life will change forever.
Is there any way I can be involved with some kind of awareness....FOR ME MY LIFE IS CHANGED FOR EVER THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED ,but there are no take backs!
I want to make people or men more aware. He was my soul mate, my life, my dreams, the breath that I breath, and he vanished!
I love you Gray!!!!

Thanks for posting this Terry. I hope the day comes when all people are tested for sleep apnoea in childhood, as a young adult and then again at a later stage in life. It's such a simple test, and could stop heart attacks and strokes, plus all the many other illnesses linked with sleep apnoea. It's not surprising that it causes so many other conditions, bearing in mind that 1/3rd of our lives is supposed to be spent in safe, healthy, restorative sleep. If this isn't happening, there are bound to be repercussions.

1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test

ResMed AirSense 10 getting noisy

My first question is why is condensation forming? I very occasionally get some condensation, may be once a month, but I can quickly run a finger around the inside of the mask, and wipe it away. I use a nasal mask, with the humidifier…"
