Back on the machine...well sorta - DoubtFire61 - 05-23-2018
So, after some 8 weeks of fighting *constant* breathing problems, I have subdued my lungs to the point (thank-you Big Pharma) to the point where I can once again attempt to slay the CPAP dragon.
I finally solved the seal issues on the Philips Amara View mask...my leaks have been consistently at 0 according to the machine....
The first night was promising 3.3 hours on, with 1.8 AHI ... but I woke up and I could not get back to sleep with it on.
The next two nights were head congestion fails....
Gonna try again tonight.

Keep at it. You'll get there!

So far...pretty much the same level of success as before....not more than a couple hours at the start of the night....then I wake up feeling like the damn machine is trying to suffocate me.
Last night was 59 minutes....

If you could post a chart from sleepyhead it would help to figure out whats happening. The links for downloading and posting are below.

Doubtfire61, either your pressures are to low or you have to low humidity, at a guess.
As Walla Walla says, post a few data charts from Sleepyhead.
Let the dog see the rabbit.

I've suspended use again, as my coughing has returned....
I'm going to put the data today and hopefully can post my meager results tonight.

What are your humidity settings?
RE: Back on the machine...well sorta - DoubtFire61 - 05-30-2018
I currently operate with humidity off, but I put either cold water or ice cubes in the tank....

Note that the coughing is throughout the day...air quality vs. allergy issues
