Im in a sleep and next thing im wakened with air billowing out sides of mask and making a loud farting noise then i hav to press the ramp button and its ok again but by that time im wakened up...why is this happening?
It sounds like you have a full face mask that is not properly adjusted. If you could provide the specific model of mask you are using and your treatment pressure perhaps someone with the same mask or similar can offer suggestions.
My first thought is not having a good seal. If i don't wash my face and mask right before bed, I have seal issues too. I'm also a side sleeper and that can cause a problem with some full face masks.
