Large and medium pillows difference

Post by carbonphoenix40 » Sun Apr 14, 2024 4:59 am

Hello all, been a CPAP user since 2021. I started on nasal pillows medium and a few months ago I switched to large. Ever since my events per hour have gone up. I have an anxiety disorder which comes and goes randomly. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed an issue. On a resimed device with humidifier. Thanks in advance.

So....just how much of an increase in events??? and what kind of events are you seeing?
Waking often during the night?
What does your leak rate look like?

Normally I get events between 1 and 5, that’s moved up to 3 and 8. I’m not waking up but feel like I could have slept better.

Hi, I think it’s okay. I have just come back from holiday today and over the last few weeks it has been ok.
