I have been using a CPAP machine for 5 years now. I was given an Airsense 10 by the NHS in January last year and I use a full face mask (Resmed Airtouch F20) which have a memory foam seal and it is very effective.
Since the end of last year i have had a problem. When I turn it on it gushes full blast so that it nearly lifts the mask off my face. I try to reset it but no difference..I have spoken to the sleep nurse and have tried a new pipe, water chamber, mask and I now have a new machine but it is just the same.
To begin with this machine was like my old one and would start at low pressure and build.up.to a comfortable level. My breathing can be shallow so sometimes I has to exaggerate my breathing pattern so it would settle down. There are no leaks anywhere and the mask is a good fit. Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong as I sense the sleep nurse is put of her depth.
