To fit the mask I am sitting up in bed, otherwise I can't see the machine. There is no need for you to see the machine when doing the mask fit. Do the mask fit lying down, in your favorite sleep position, try to fit the mask so that the only air blowing out is out of the vent. If you're hard of hea...

Improved for me too.

According to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaXA0ZIWj1Y (Yes, it's Nick of CPAP Reviews) the way pressure relief function in the Lowenstein machines is very different from the way it functions in Resmed machines. Apparently you're feeling it. You're asking if you can set exhale pressure relie...

I was wondering too.
Good to know he is ok.

Ditto to both.

Ever heard of overtraining, and exercise being too intense?

You were, so to speak, brought down to your knees by sleep apnea.
Did you attempt to rebuild your fitness at the right rate - or are you possibly attempting to push yourself to fast to where you were at your best?

I don't find it too painful to take off, but obviously YMMV. There is an even cheaper tape that I want to try which is the 3M Micropore paper tape. You can get 120 yards of 1" tape for $9.24, or 60 yards of 2" for $9.40. At the end of the day, find the tape that works for you, and then shop by pric...

I would have sent you a PM - but your Private Messages seem to be off.

Rubicon has given a response to your "flow limitations" thread, which you absolutely should read.

thanks guys well theres nothing to show at screenshot because the data simply isnt there last night was recorded, but the record from that midday nap is nowhere to be found... odd! my hours are ok, Im based in Europe and they match the real time so thats not it. will consider sleep HQ, albeit I am ...

Sure. Unless there is a significant leak , the volume of air inspired should be close to that of the volume expired. In your beginning three breaths of your original post the volume of air exchanged between 21:04:36 and 21:04:40 is fairly equal between Inspiration and expiration. ( the area under t...

We can see the night you uploaded.

Airyhead, it’s possible you had a brief period of palatial prolapse. If it keeps happening, talk with your sleep doctor. She might then want to refer you to an ENT.

Exactly.
Those last breaths before you ripped the mask off, see how you exhale (below the 0 line) is a suddenly pointy and narrow?

Since last night was not horrible, I think I'll just stay with what I have now for awhile: Pressure 7-14 EPR 3 Ramp on auto (start at 6 because it's comfortable) Soft response You've got me thoroughly confused. This is the night of May 8th. https://sleephq.com/public/4d1b5b83-9f83-4cbe-ae54-69fd7f1...

I had time to scroll through all - but my post got stuck. Pugsy's right - all those change were not doing you much good: You're pushing your minimum pressure far too high. You're making dramatic changes in pressure And you're not letting your body get used to whatever pressure you're trying. April 1...
