New user, need troubleshooting help
Hello! I'm here after finally remembering to check reddit for advice and saw someone recommended this board.
I'm new and I'm not having a lot of success despite desperately wanting to.
I use the resmed airsense 11 with airfit f20 full face mask. I like the full face mask because I do wear a mouth guard and will mouth breathe all night without anything.
The problem that I'm having is that every night I put my mask on and fall asleep without issue and then at some point in the night BTW 32_3 hours) the pressure reaches the max and tries to flee off of my face. I'm a very tired person and it's super annoying so I usually take the whole thing off without even fully waking.
So I'm getting only about 2 hours a night on the machine and six months worth of appointments haven't really helped me figure this out. I did get them to reduce the pressure a little to see if that would help but it has not. Event with all of that being said, I can tell the difference on the rare occasion I get a full night.
In addition to this, I can't order new supplies thru insurance because I'm not compliant. It's become a very expensive thing to not be working. I need to average4+ hrs per night for them to pay one penny. Also worth noting, I am a side sleeper.
So the other night one of the clips on the headgear broke and I need to order more + resupply and I was thinking about whether or not i should even bother trying to get all new supplies out of pocket and then remembered to check reddit so here I am!
I looked around and it seems like mask leaks for side sleepers is a common issue with the f20. I saw someone recommend getting the headgear for the Amara mask and I wanted to check with the group to see if I need to know anything before I try that or really just see if anyone else has additional advice before I try again!
Thanks for your time
