Sleep2snore replied to Ann Murch's discussion New by wondering what to do next"Make sure you have SmartFlex turned on, this will drop the pressure when you breath out.
You didn't say what model you have, but as pressure was rising it must at least be Automatic.
If you look in the manual it will tell you how to get into…"
Sleep2snore replied to Cathy's discussion New full face mask"If it works for you use it.
They are a bit quieter I am told so on its own will help, but comfort is the name of the game and if it fits the bill........

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.
