Yes, I changed the mask type on the machine (ResMed AirSense 9) Mask seals are consistently good.

Hi. I have been on CPAP therapy for about 2.5 years. I've had a nasal mask almost all that time. About 3 weeks ago I came down with a horrible viral infection and was very congested and couldn't breathe through the nasal mask. So I purchased a full face mask to see that could help me get some sleep with therapy.

I've noticed with the full mask that my events per hour have dramatically increased. I was averaging maybe 1-5 per hour on the nasal mask but with the full face mask my events have jumped to 33 - 58 per hour.

Any ideas on what may have happened? I'm sure it could be the cold/infection that is causing issues but I'm also wondering if I need to increase the airflow for the full mask vs what I had for the nasal.

Any suggestions or feedback you have would be helpful.

Thanks!
