"Sorry it wasn't anything simple, although still worth checking the mask in case there's an exhale flap sticking if the mask is faulty. Perhaps call the clinic as if they're monitoring your therapy they may be able to see at problem at…"

"Hi Kath
I have just had a new hose (climatelineair) and new cushion/mask so I don’t think it is likely this but thanks for the suggestion."
"David, you need to check both your mask and hose as this could be a loss of pressure or even co2 retention if it's a new symptom:-
HOSE - check carefully that no holes have formed in the tube and also check at both ends of it to make sure…"
Sleep disturbance - any suggestions
Good morningI have sleep apnea which is treated with Resmed Air 10 Auto and my AHI is less than 1 regularly and under control with 0 leak. This would suggest my apnea is under control.Recently I have been awoken during the night in a strange state which I can only describe as a mixture of dizziness/hallucinations/head fuzziness/eye or sight disturbance as if I am high or out my face on drugs. I do not take drugs, drink nor smoke and my hydration was a good level. Does anyone experience similar…See More

"It's very much still relevant and we're getting closer to have them manufactured and has been no easy challenge. In fact we were speaking with the company working with us on this only yesterday. If you're not on our newsletter list…"
"I expect others may have responded by now, but I use the Fitlife full face mask. I kept getting a hard lump on my nose when first starting out & it got so bad that I ended up buying my own masks as my clinic would only give the Fitlife to new…"

"Hi Nick thanks. Does it do the job and could you camp with it?"
CPAP Total Face Mask
I was curious whether anyone has used the CPAP Total Face Masks and could pass on their observations? I've been using an Airfit F20 for years which is fine apart from the permanent red mark on the bridge of my nose, and have recently tried the…See More
"I've been using the Resmed Airmini for about 5 years when travelling - overall lightweight and small and can be controlled by an App, but it does produce a loud whistling/wind sound for me which hasn't been reduced by an inline filter or…"
"Hi
It sounds like you need to have more conversations with your sleep clinic. There's little point in having a high pressure if it means you cannot tolerate the machine. There's an interesting video here…"
Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind
HiI'm using the prisma smart max machine. Initially I was just on a nasal mask, this changed as I was sleeping with my mouth open. I then went to face and nose mask and complained of bad wind and belching. Sometimes the pressure in the night was…See More
"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."
"thank you jonathan,i did get the it pack so tried the small and still struggled but i was sat up in bed so will try lying down great suggestion "
"Hi
My first thought is "don't panic"! We're all a bit different, and there are many things that can be tweaked. I took to CPAP therapy like a duck to water, but I've had friends who say they can't cope, but…"
1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test
Hi everyone, today I received my rental kit - prisma smart max, plus a Philips dreamwear mask which I’ve been wearing unconnected to try and get used to it. I just did a mask fit test using a medium mask and got a constant red/orange leak warning…See More
Are every small CPAP machines any good?
