Still snoring

Hi Colin, is the mask leaking or perhaps you are using a nasal mask but are breathing through your mouth. Its tricky to find these out as we are asleep while it is going on. Your wife is in the best position to be able to give you the info if she isn't either hiding under the pillow or considering killing you. If you can get cpap to work for you it def cuts down on the bruising (well mine stopped digging me with pointy elbows) and is a great non intrusive therapy but all of us have had some serious tweaking to do before we settle in.

That depends on the type of machine you have and if the pressure is high enough and the type of mask you have, this might also depend on how you were tested.
You should bring it up with your Sleep Clinic, give them a phone.
They are there to help you.
It might need a tweek in pressure, change of machine type or mask type or a combination of all three.
Only the Sleep Clinic can find out.

Yes that's what my money is on, I snore like a trooper but with my mask, nothing as the air stops it. I have seen a few people asking about this over the years. With a pressure of 12 it wont be the air flow cos that's quite high, maybe there are other factors

Careful with those claims, at 12 I would still be snoring, I can even snore at 15. My machine is set at 16 and I know some have it even higher
