Noisy mask problem
I have had my Fisher and Paykel Simplus mask for about five years and have been very happy with it, until about two weeks ago. I did my usually weekly clean of mask, tube etc. That night I noticed that the mask was noisy when I breathe out. Since then it has either woken me or prevented me from getting to sleep each night.I have since replaced the cushion but that has made no difference. Does anyone have any ideas of the cause? I have no leakage from the mask according to Dreammapper.It isn't…See More

Hi, Judith-Ann, welcome to the forum. You asked how you could find out about your AHIs. I am not certain as I don't have that machine (mine is one of the S8 series), but I think the S9 Escape machine you are using may only give you the basic hours of use. Often the clinics seem to issue machines which give just this basic information.

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

"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
