problem with my machine ?

[druidsam]

being new to this i dont know what's normal and what's not, when i start the machine up everything is ok, i have the ramp set to 10 minutes , the problem seems to be that when i wake in the morning there doesnt seem to be much air coming through the mask, is this normal?
im using a ResMed S8 Escape CPAP and ResMEd Quattro full face mask

As it's a fixed pressure CPAP machine, the pressure you find in the morning should be higher than the one you start off with when the machine fires up on its ramp setting.

Can you derive from the screen what the pressure is?

i'll check the screen to see if it tells me the pressure, then check in the morning again, i havent really looked at any of the sttings on it as the hospital told me it was ready for me to use.

Hi I have the same kit & what would seem to be the same problem, but I dont use the ramp feature. When I start of if I open my mouth slightly It blows my cheeks out but in the morning it won't do it.

i now think that the problem is with the mask leaking due to me moving about in my sleep, it seems to be ok when im on my back but leaks if i lie on my side this could be down to trial and error with the tightness of the mask so some experiments are in order i think
