Sleep Apnea and adjusting to a CPAP machine: Tips?

Hi, walkfor life,

I've been on cpap for over a year. My AHI events have dropped significantly. Sometimes 0.0 to 1.3. You may want to check leak rate to see if you need to tighten mask. You may be opening your mouth when you sleep. Sometimes I get congested, but I think its related to seasonal allergies. Your sinus issues and fatigue could be an infection. Speak with your doctor about this. He can point you in the right direction. Good luck.

@me49 Thanks for the response. I generally check my results every day or two. For the most part the mask seal has been reported in the good zone. However i just looked at the chart and it shows the last 5 days have had a leak rate of more than 10liters/minute. Previously the rate was below 10.
