If you do get a ResMed Autoset for trial, I would start the trial at a fixed pressure - probably of 8 or less based on what you say - and without EPR. You need it first and foremost for the data. I'm a bit surprised that your sleep doctor, presumably knowing your unique state, did not send you for ...

It shoots up to 12-13cm from 8cm when the EPR is on and shoots down do ~ 6ish on exhale. This morning I had 6 of these episodes (CAI) out of AHI 7 while trying to fall asleep Even though my body tells the machine I need 8cm, when I go to inhale the pressure of the machine skyrockets to 12.5cm or hi...

I can see having a pressure differential across the cheek with an open mouth and FFM. Atmospheric pressure outside and therapy pressure within. Perhaps there's a FFM that covers more of the cheek keeping it all equal? May be, I've seen the literal Full Face mask from Phillips but it appears to slop...

When the mouth is open inside an FFM, the pressure is equalized and the cheeks will not balloon. 2. This is a unique case. No machine is designed to do that. It would be...

Chipmunk Cheeks: I only get those when my mouth is closed, and airs escapes from my nasal cavity into my closed mouth. When I open my mouth in a full face mask, I have no such problems. But you seem to get no air through you nose - so how are you getting your cheeks full of unexhaled air? Can you e...

#3 is the only one i can really help with. i use xylimelts. tiny discs that fit between cheek and gum. they adhere all night and slowly melt to stimulate saliva. i use two. Thanks for the suggestion, I ordered some on amazon and I am excited to try them out. Given that you are having a difficult ti...

Hi all, I'm a 35 yr, mildly overweight individual that was recently dx with sleep apnea about 1 month ago. My original test was a home test that should AHI of 14.5. I am also a RN so I am bound and determined to make sure I eventually get used to it. However, I am having some peculiar issues adjusti...
