Do get back to them as there are several types of mask you can try. Good luck.

The type of mask you use is crucial to success with CPAP. Try different ones to find the best one for you.

I use airSense 10 Elite CPAP with a humidifier and a nasal pillows mask. On most nights my score is 100% and the difference in my Symptoms is remarkable. Please listen to the advice given by others to try different masks. Once you find the the one most suitable mask for you, you might reap the benefits of the treatment, however, this can take a bit of time in the begining.

Good luck and stick with it.

Been back to northern general today,my machine is auto setting technician said my machine set at 4 but due to my severe sleep aptmia was working at14.Explained mask kept blowing off after 2 hr,now trying heated hose and machine adjusted to start at 4 and gradually lncrease pressure over a longer period to max 14.My problem seems to be that once i go to sleep my aptmia kicks in fast,I stop breathing 37 times per hour.Next step will to see a consultant to see If any medication i take has adverseeffects,
