"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."

1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test

ResMed AirSense 10 getting noisy

Hi Linda,
Really sorry I haven't been on here for such a long time. I have had and still have probs with my cpap. Let me sleep tonight and will answer you properly tomorrow :)

Hi Linda,
How are you getting on ? I am absolutely hating this cold weather. We came back from
Australia to the tail end of the bizarre March heatwave - just in time to catch the snow! I was hoping to get two summers this year , so I hope that weather in March wasn't it.
Hi Linda,
Welcome to the forum. I sympathise about the sore nose - I've had those same issues too. We are from the same part of the world, so perhaps have the same sleep clinic. I find the staff at Ninewells clinic really helpful and you'll get lots of good advice on this forum, too.
