Lots of mask leak and severe bloating / stomach pain upon waking. What can I do?
Hello all,
I have attached my last 3 nights of sleep below. I have tried every type of mask and it doesn't make any difference Nasal (with mouth tape), Pillows (with mouth tape), Full Face
I am using: Resemed Air Curve 10
Settings:
Min EPAP: 10
Max IPAP: 15
PS: 4
Trigger: High

It may be helpful to lists the mask models you've tried in detail so others more well versed with masks can make a recommendation. Step one is fixing your large leaks - are you sure your device is functioning properly and everything is connected like it should be? Have you considered that your movement at night may be dislodging your masks? Have you tried forcing yourself to sleep on your side or using softer or more firm pillows?

Thanks for your reply. I’ve tried many different kind of pillows and every sleeping position (usually am a side sleeper)
Just checked and it is is mode “vauto”

Sorry for my confusion. The reports you posted show Airsense 11 Autoset in CPAP mode and the pressure looks very constant, though it does indicate EPR is on.

That information comes from the SD card in your machine. When you remove and replace the SD card you will see a message in the window that the SD card is being prepared. The device is writing information to the card in several files that identify the machine model, serial number, start date, etc. If you put the card in your card reader and open it up with file explorer, you should see a file called "Identification.tgt" You can use any text editor (Notepad, Wordpad, Word, etc) to open the file and read the information about your machine. The machine serial number is copied into the file header for every recorded event each time you use the machine, so you should be able to verify that everything matches.
