Air sense 10 autoset. I have been doing ok now with airtouch f20. I know it says not to wash. However if I wash it every few day it works for me. I tried cpap wipes and it didnt help. I wash with antibacterial soap hang up to dry. It works fine. I guess to each their own. Thanks for help. Btw my pressure is 8/14 auto ramp. It does good. Ave AHI >2

I tested mask seal with tee shirt. It failed at high end of pressure. So I went back to just the Airtouch f20 memory foam cushion and side strap covers. I adjusted straps until leak stopped on mask fit. It is alittle tight but I can live with it. I know I cant wear it like demo shows. I leak to much. I wore a silicone mask at sleep study and it irritated my skin bad. I am sharing this info so maybe someone is experiencing the same symptoms and can use my trials to help them persevere.

Scratch the sweat shirt. It leaked like a sive. I am going to try teeshirt tonight. Long suffering to persevere!

I had problems like that and still fiddle with mine. I added a teeshirt liner last night and loosened straps. It leaked but i didnt hear it. The leak wasn’t terrible. 20.4 . I made a new liner today hoping to bring it down to 14-16 range, and still have comfort. My AHI is 2 or less average now. 8 lb to 14 lb. pressure

I have seen no correlation between my cpap and afib. My afib is controlled nicely with meds.

It was suggested to me to add a mask liner to my airtouch f20. They said use a sweat shirt. I made one. My question is which side goes towards skin. Fuzzy or smooth. I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right tonight lol. I made a tee shirt last night. It certainly helped with comfort but leak went up some. 20.4. I hope to get it down to 14-16 range. I will be a happy pap er

Greetings folks. Im a 58 year old male. I have Afib and now diagnosed with severe OSA. I am waiting patiently for a machine. I did the split night study, and found the CPAP atrocious and amazing. The mask was uncomfortable and caused some side effects. However even with that I got some of the best sleep in years for a few hours. I feel confident i will find a better mask and maybe an adjustment in humidity will help with dryness. I actually had blood from dryness from throat. I did mention it halfway through test about dryness. She was going to adjust humidity. Could be damage was done. One thing for certain is I can not continue to live like I am. My body fights all night long. Sleep comes in minutes or even seconds. I keep my wife up by huffing and puffing. My days are tired. If you are the praying type, I would ask you might say a little prayer for me. I am over 2 months into this. Waiting for someone to contact me about a machine. Tonight I will suffer again, hoping the Lord will wake me for tomorrow. I am optimistic. I worry I waited to long before seeking help. <sigh>
