Thanks Dee,
for explaining. I only need air pressure at 6 on my cpap. Which is pretty low. Apparently.
I hope you can get back to using it every night so you'll feel better every day.Maybe it's the mask? If you can try one that covers your nose and mouth, that might work.
That's the sort of mask I use, Dee. Being a mouth breather if I didn't have a full mask I'd have needed a chin strap to keep my mouth closed and keep me from breathing through my mouth and gaining no benefits. A chin strap (they tried one the night of the second test that was to see what level of air pressure I needed etc) just caused my erythema (hot red skin) to flare.
I'm fortunate that my machine has a heated humidifier, but I can leave the heat off so it's a cool water humidifier. I found out if it's really humid in the room and I have the heat on, I get condensation inside the mask and it wakes me up (cause I'm about to drown!). Not really but it's weird.
