Pressure and mask leaks
So am two months in with excellent results. I went for my first follow up and the APRN said doing great so let’s now set the pressure between 10-14. Before it was 4-20. I was averaging 12.5. Now in the last two nights since my follow up my leaks have skyrocketed and I feel like there to much pressure. Resmed airsence 10 and nasal pillow is what I have. Thank you

It would give us more insights if you downloaded OSCAR and posted your flow curves with all the details arranged as WIKI suggests.

I use nasal cushions and my leaks go up and are hard to control when I get above 10cm. 9 is about my limits. My head pillow also plays a part, I need to tuck the end up under my chin and neck so it doesn’t bump the nose portion of my mask.

RE: Pressure and mask leaks
When you say you were averaging 12.5, what number are you specifically referencing?

Welcome to the board. I think I know the problem but without data I can't know. PLEASE download and use OSCAR. It is a totally free program to download and use at the top of our site. You will need a SD card (32 GB or less) in your machine while you sleep to record the data to post..
