Sleep apnea and potential treatments

How right you are. It's been over six months and I am on my third mask. I think this may be the one that will work. I have only been able to find it by asking friends and acquaintances what they use and why. But you are correct about getting better educated and being able to "try the masks on". I asked Alpine Medical Supply if I could try one that was on display in their office and was told they couldn't allow that. I also have some questions about the accuracy of the res/med machine readout. I need to know more about how the time measurements work. Also the machine tells me I had a great fit when I know it was not and air escaped, etc.

I hear you on the mask leak showing you have great seal and you can clearly hear and feel the air escaping. One thing, and I'm not sure if you were aware, whenever you change a mask type for resmed, you'll want to update that in your resmed app, under "Equipment" tab and select "Update mask", enter in the new mask you are using. Then, on your resmed device, go to "My Options" menu on the device's screen, select "Mask Setting," and then choose your mask type from the options (Full Face, Nasal, or Nasal Pillow). I didn't know about changing these settings at first and that was the main reason I was getting incorrect mask seal results. Hope this helps.
