Possible CO2 issue
Re: Possible CO2 issue
I recommended the collar because re-breathing CO2 makes you feel sick.
The vents on each mask are different, bu† basically consist of a small patch (or ring) of tiny holes that allow CO2 to vent/leave after being exhaled by you.

Re: Possible CO2 issue
My pressure is 9. I clean my mask and vents once a week. I clean the nasal pillow daily. I use one part vinegar and 10 parts distilled water.

Re: Possible CO2 issue
I am thinking that is what is happening to me, rebreathing the CO2. I feel remarkably well today and have every day I have not used the CPAP. I have a call in to the technician to have her come out to fit me with a new mask, possibly a full face mask. I will have to order the neck brace online as I do not drive, and since they are inexpensive, will order a few different sizes.
One thing I have noted is that my eyes have been extremely dry after using the CPAP too. Wondering if the nasal pillow is somehow sending the air from the mask back into my face. Just another item I have noted.

Re: Possible CO2 issue
In your profile, where you got your Iconny, is the option to use text instead of iconny, I like many refuse to click on iconny to go to another screen to see what equiptment you use when you can just use text and let us see, plus many that use Iconny post the wrong Iconny, and they all look the same. Pictograms need to be left in caves.

Re: Possible CO2 issue
I'm so sorry, that's the junk model. If you can get them to swap it out iwth a good one, it'd be the best thing.

Re: Possible CO2 issue
The vent is the mesh on either side of where the hose goes in. You should clean the mesh with dish washing soap (not hand soap) and hot water, and a tooth brush... regularly, so that the CO2 can vent out.

Re: Possible CO2 issue
I'm confused, earlier you asked where the vents are, before anybody answered, you say you clean them weekly..
How are you cleaning the mesh? The reason that I'm harping on this is because the vent mesh on the p10 has been known to get clogged up with some people, causing poor venting, which can cause issues like you're describing.

Okay,watched the video and located the mesh vents. Will be especially careful of these when I clean them.

Re: Possible CO2 issue
Back to my original question to the Board Members here about rebreathing CO2, just got an email from my neurologist that most certainly my symptoms are connected with not only rebreathing CO2 but with disregulation of air pressure. Migraine with aura will be triggered along with morning headache and nausea and that terrible unwell feeling that goes away around noon. He did not suggest what to do, sheesh. He only admitted this will happen. I guess he is leaving this up to his partner who is my sleep doctor. I did send a strong email to my sleep doc this evening asking him what the next steps are because I am on Medicare right now I am supposed to be using my CPAP every single night, minimum 5.5 hours.
Will call the company that is supplying my equipment to let them know this and hope my sleep doc responds tomorrow.
Today, I felt normal, well, no morning headache, no nausea, no muscle pain or spasm or unusual twitching in legs and toes and my blood pressure has been normal in the morning. I have been finding it very elevated until I stopped the CPAP.
Now it's up to my sleep doc to help me.
Thanks for listening.

Re: Possible CO2 issue
Assuming you don't help yourself. Put your mask on, turn on the machine, you should be able to feel air wafting (not jetting) out of both mesh vents on the mask...
or plug the openings in the mask with your fingertips and put the mask just under the surface of a bowl of water, if you're not getting a lot of air out, your mask is clogged... clean it, or replace the mask frame.

Re: Possible CO2 issue
Just got a new mask frame last week and used it one day and then woke with the same morning headache and nausea followed by feeling unwell until mid day until it wore off. Later on that day followed by migraine with aura. Same cycle.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Now wondering if it's the pressure, not enough to clear the CO2?
