Hi dave , i have the same experience as you "left to get on with it".I am on my 4th or 5th mask now and still find i cant sleep all night with it on, i was having  60 apneas an hour when first tested. Ihave been given results from cpap machine once, so i currently dont know how many apneas an hour i am getting now. Last visit i was given another mask to try and was out the door in 10 minutes, not a very good experience mate.

"If the top limit is unrestricted then it will go up to 20 for up to 5 hours a night.  The hospital say that I need this pressure as my Apnea is getting worse but my AHI is nearly always under 1"

Sleep2snore replied to Chris Vesey's discussion Cure for wind
"It is very common for people to get wind in there stomach using CPAP/APAP.  As Kath say, at the start it can be quite bad for some people, others are not bothered.  In fact the ResMed is less likely to give you this problem, but saying…"

Sleep2snore replied to Edam's discussion Double inhaling
"Your machine should not go higher unless you need more pressure. The machine I have was set at 10 to 20 when I got it and it has never ventured above 12.9. I have a ResMed 10Auto which I found to be a little better than the Dreamstation.  I…"
