About 2 weeks ago, I got a ResMed Airsense 10 for Her (I am male, but it was cheaper and they said they set it up as the regular ResMed), with the climate tube and Dreamwear mask with nasal cushion.
They gave me two sizes of cushions, a M and a MW. The APAP was set with pressure 4 to 20, with ramp starting at 4 and time auto. EPR was off.
In the first few days I felt more comfortable with the wide cushion, but was getting lots of leaks and then the machine would increase the pressure and become very uncomfortable. I was waking up several times during the night and in the morning I would feel more tired than before using the machine, even though my AHI had dropped to less than 2.0.
Reading comments here, I started experimenting and tweaking it. I turned EPR to 2, what made a huge difference. I also changed the machine response to soft. I tried to turn off ramp, but it felt more uncomfortable, so I put it back. Based on my reading on OSCAR, I conservatively increased the starting pressure to 5.
However, I was still experiencing several leaks. I then decided to give the M cushion another try and adjusted the mask so that it would not be too tight. That apparently did the trick, as my last 3 nights have been much better.
However, in spite of having an excellent AHI now (see the charts), it seems that there still leaks happening and I am not sure how to determine if it is through the mask or through the mouth.
I am posting here the charts of my last 3 nights, hoping that someone could make sense of what is happening and could provide me with some suggestions.
Please note that on the second night (Sat Feb 6), we had a huge thunderstorm here, what disrupted my sleep.
Thank you!
