Hi guys. started CPAP 1 month ago. My AHI was 44. I have been given a dream station. Mask is ok, pressure ok. My AHI is now around 0.5 to 1. No leak. Sleeping long periods of time and waking up 1-2 times a night ( I think this is habit). However I feel so so tired still. When will I feel better? Thought it would be an over night thing. thanks guys. See More

Dentists in Hull that know about Mewing ?

"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…"

Airsense 10 -humidifier runs dry
