resmed cpap nasal mask

yeah needing to do something different. but the cpap mask is full mask. and think i remember its on auto. one of the new resmed models .

hi! I'm boiling my resmed mask in water for 30sec and I think it really helps to clean it out, vinegar may also work I've been taking d mannose hoping it will stop any brain damage I've gotten from sleep apnea if anyone wants to talk about sleep apnea and treatments that would be great!

I have had excellent luck with the Resmed Mirage Quattro mask. It has a knob at the top of the mask that adjusts the pressure against the forehead and nose. I wake-up without redness or cuts on the nose. It is a full face mask which is a concern if you're using the nasal CPAP. I was getting redness and cuts when I first started using CPAP but it turns out that my mask was too small. Once I went to a large Mirage Quattro, the bleeding stopped.

Which mask(s) have you used? Did you try a full face mask? A nasal cushion or nasal pillows mask w/a chin strap? What is your Leak rate w/the CPAP and APAP. High leaks whether mask leaks or mouth leaks can interfere w/your PAP therapy causing the PAP to provider higher and higher pressure to compensate for the leaks. Were you provided w/an integrated heated humidifier w/your CPAP and APAP? Have you tried adjusting the humidity up or down?

I fought with the cpap the first two weeks, and threw the mask off only one night. GIve it time you will become accustom to cpap, I have Nasal pillows no mask, I had dry throat also, they gave me chin strap and I have a heated hose & the humid setting in at 5, the temp is 77 and I never change the settings. After two months now on the Cpap, this some of the best sleep in years. For me the sleep study was the worse, I two separate nights. Hope this helps some. JB..

Hi, i am a Sleep Physiologist and work with patients on CPAP every day. It sounds very like you have a reaction to the material in the mask. I have seen it before with some patients. Some people have sensitive skin and can have an allergy to the material in the mask. You would need to stop using your machine for a few days to let the nose heal properly, if you continue to allow the mask to irritate the skin you can end up with a pressure sore on your nose.

one year to desensitize myself to the mask let alone to find the right cpap mask (nasal pillows) and pressure setting to alleviate my symptoms. Keep in mind with UARS you need only a lower pressure setting to keep your airway open. If you read Dr. Guilleminualt’s papers on UARS and posts of www.cpaptalk.com and www.apneasupport.org most people with UARS need lower pressure settings of 8 and under. I read in one of Dr.

Yo, Julie. Another "hose-nose" here - I've been using my CPAP (mine is much like a BiPAP with exhalation relief) since being diagnosed with OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) three years ago and I wouldn't consider sleeping without it!! CPAP has actually saved my life! I say this because I have had very scary experiences before I got CPAP where I'd wake up not breathing and not be able to start breathing again.

s I have a cpap machine and there are no horror stories about it as long as you get the right mask to fit you you will be fine there is air blowing when you breathe in and out it is normal especially if you have a nasal mask I have a full face mask because I am a mouth breather and because I have oxygen going in mine I like the cpap good luck.

I just started using my CPAP with a swift nasal mask 3 weeks ago and you just described my systems to a tee. I am miserable. I have been taking Sudafed when I wake up and it has helped but I can't do this forever. There must be a simple solution to this problem that so many users are experiencing...

ve tried to use CPAP for more than a year with no success, using full mask, nasal mask or nasal pillows with chin strap. They either keep me from falling asleep, or I can't get them easily reseated without leaks if I have to get out of bed during the night. I also have trouble keeping the headgear/chin strap in place even when it's correctly adjusted; it slips off my head. I have to over-tighten it; not only uncomfortable, but it irritates my skin. Have you tried CPAP Pro?

t know how long you have been on CPAP , please stick with it you may have to bring the mask closer to you. what type of mask you have ?

I use the full CPAP mask that covers my mouth and nose. At first it caused me a somewhat claustrophobic feeling and I always wanted to rip it off my face, but I got over that after a few days and now it is no problem. I sleep like a baby with it now.

I love this mask ResMed. I can sleep the whole night with this one. I have had several different types of mask and this fits the best.

I use a CPAP machine, with a nasal mask setting is 15. I do believe it makes me sleep better. However it causes serious gas especially in the morning. I know others have reported this problem but have yet to see a good answer.

Unfortunatley the only treatment options available for moderate OSA are CPAP and weight loss. Have you tried a full face mask, it may be that you breathe through your mouth and if you have a nasal mask on your mouth is opening and the air gushes out through your mouth and causes you to feel panicky. A full face mask will allow you to breathe through your mouth which may be a bit more comfortable for you. Is your machine an automatic or fixed pressure unit.

m assuming you had a second sleep study done with CPAP to determine the correct pressure and type of mask--did your doctor's report state that your sleep quality significantly improved with CPAP? Typically, companies that provide you with the CPAP machine have a card with a microchip in it that monitors how often the machine is being used, for what period of time, and whether or not it is being properly used (via pressure measurements and recordings).

Hi Meagher sorry you are having problem with your CPAP the only thing i may suggest is another type of mask i dout if the CPAP machine would send out any toxic air what i my suggest is run the CPAP for a while please let me know how you get on........

I have used scores of Prescription antihistamines, decongestants, eye drops, nasal sprays, saline flushes, have reduced CPAP pressures, and used different style mask over the past seven years! These help moderate symptoms, or recover from occurrences, but do not prevent them. > I wish more research would be done in this area.

Hi try not to worry about CPAP i was the same as you claustrophobic i would get the nasal mask that way to start with get to use CPAP in the daytime to get used to it on face so night time is easy for you. All so what helped me was to have the RAMP low that makes it easy to breath also with the nasal mask you can sleep on your side.......You can ask me anytime just leave me a note i shall get back to you asap...Take Care....

If you are normally able to breathe through your nose but cannot while asleep, you might want to give consideration to the type of soft-gel mask commonly used with Nasal C-PAP. Oxygen can be fed into that type of system, at high concentration.

They were quite suprised at how high they were. But also found that the machine was set up for a nasal mask not a face mask.( the clinic set the machine up at my first appointment) This and the dryness may be the reason the pressure readings were so high. Anyway I used it last night with the humidifier set on 2. But I still woke up in the middle of the night with a very dry mouth.
