"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."

Kath Hope replied to David Carrick's discussion Sleep disturbance - any suggestions
"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

Frances Knight replied to Frances Knight's discussion Air Sense 10 - changing pressure settings
"A very helpful reply Jonathan. I found the pressure setting for the full face mask to be too high when I changed to a nasal mask, but perhaps I should have persisted? I'll try again and I'll also discuss with the clinic whether an APAP…"

Jonathan replied to Frances Knight's discussion Air Sense 10 - changing pressure settings
"Ramble alert!  My history is that I spent part of each week at a different location, so bought a second machine identical to my fixed pressure NHS machine and set it up to match using the clinician menu.  This was a very long time…"

Frances Knight replied to Frances Knight's discussion Air Sense 10 - changing pressure settings
"Thanks Jonathan - I had seen the YouTube video. My question is really about the experience of people who have control of their pressure settings, for example those people who have bought their machines directly and not obtained them through an NHS…"

Jonathan replied to John's discussion Airsense 10 -humidifier runs dry
"I previously had a DeVilbiss Sleepcube and the dehumidifier did sometimes run dry.  On the other hand I now have an AirSense 10 and it never runs dry, and I've had the humidity turned up high."

Airsense 10 -humidifier runs dry

Hi. I'm finding the Airsense 10 the hospital gave me, the humidifier chamber runs dry. It's not even on max settings, which I'm guessing would empty it a lot quicker. Seems like a big design oversight to me. Does anyone else have this trouble? The…See More
