Thanks so much for your help. I'll wait for a tech to come out and possibly replace my machine and I'll look into using SleepyHead.
Unfortunately I don't have an SD card reader. I just tried the machine again with a different ramp time and timed it and it went from 4 to 10 in under 2 minutes. Question, is the air supposed to continuous and nonstop or is it supposed to be matched to your breathing pattern? I cannot imagine anyone sleeping with such a strong air flow blowing into their nose non stop. I had to open my mouth just to exhale and gasp for air and I ended up snorting due to the intense air flow. At level for I could at least feel and hear the machine adjust to my exhales and inhales which I imagine is the ERP? Sorry I am still new to all of this.
I have already reached out and left a voice mail to my CPAP provider. Maybe I got a faulty returned machine, it did look like it had a few scratches on the front.
Thanks for the reply. for it me went from 4 to 10 in roughly 2 minutes and sometimes I take longer than that to fall asleep but I imagine if i did and it shot to 2, I would wake up cause it is almost suffocating. It is extremely hard to blow out through my nose and when I try to breathe out through my mouth (also super difficult) the way the air is circulating through my sinus forces me to make a snorting noise.
Hmm very strange, my ramp is set to 45 mins but it just jumps from 4 to 10 in roughly 2-3 minutes. At ramp 4 I can still feel and hear the machine react as I breathe in and out. The ERP doesn't do anything when its at 10 just full blown suffocating air. Wonder if my machine is faulty.
Hello thanks for the reply all! A tech came in and set the machine up for me, fitting and settings. I checked my fit and it was fine as well. My max pressure is set to 20. Is the air supposed to be continuous and nonstop? Pressure of 10 is so strong that I can't imagine breathing through that all night. Also if my ramp up is set to 45 mins then shouldn't it stay at 4 for 45 minutes? Also EPR is already on and set to 3 but it does not feel any easier exhaling.
Hello, just got my resmed 10 with nasal mask in and I'm using the ramp up mode 45mins. When the machine first starts it is at a pressure of 4 but 2-3 minutes later it shoots up to 10 and at that point it just feels like a hurricane blowing in my nose and I'm struggling so hard to exhale. When it starts at 4 I can hear the machine react to my inhale but once it shoots up to 10 it's just a continuous barrage of air to my nose. There is no way I can fall asleep this way when I can't even breathe properly. Is this normal? Is my machine defected?
