"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."

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

"Nope, I just accept that some people's throats tend to close when they sleep, due to a loss of muscle tone during deeper sleep. Back when I was diagnosed, the sleep lab just filmed you whilst you slept, stuck an O2 meter on your finger,…"

"Hi Jonathan, well see my nose is blocked a lot, so I mouth breath which really sucks a lot more moisture and makes my mouth dry. So I put humidity on maximum, which makes for condensation at the mask end, which becomes a demonic reed instrument.Now…"
ResMed AirSense 10 getting noisy

"Hi
My first question is why is condensation forming? I very occasionally get some condensation, may be once a month, but I can quickly run a finger around the inside of the mask, and wipe it away. I use a nasal mask, with the humidifier…"

Yes a little knowledge can be dangerous, as I discovered years ago when I was young and ended up having to give away the thick medical book that scared me silly, thinking I had all sorts wrong with me. However, a little knowledge back then (even from my GP) might have diagnosed me years earlier with sleep apnoea
Perhaps sleep apnoea wasn't even in the medical book, as it was a long time ago!
Cheers Phil...Keep in touch.. will check out your machine.. sounds good!
Take care John
Hi Philip, Just joined the forum. Are you with Nevill Hall? They are fine, but seem to be more interested in the machine! General questionaire and that's it! Hence the importance of Kath's forum. Hope all well.
John
Welcome to the forum Philip and hope you find lots of help here. Look forward to interacting with you.
