Andrei sounds like he has a cold or allergies. Good job on using your CPAP. Maybe having your pressure set to auto-set based on your sleep study (lowest to highest therapeutic pressure) will help get your events down. Glad you’re feeling better Rich. Keep up the good work. It’s really inspirational to see you two working towards your goals. Upping your humidity when you have a cold or congestion can help. If your humidity is too low, it can make you more congested because it dries out your sinuses. Thank you for creating these videos. There is an expectation by insurance new users should meet compliance within 30 days. Acclimating to wearing a mask, finding the right fit / style of mask, learning how to adjust the mask straps to get a good seal and not make it so it’s uncomfortable, along with the pressure and humidity setting that works best for the individual as well as establishing a routine cleaning schedule can take time. As a long time CPAP user and recently having the mask I have used for years be discontinued it’s been challenging to find a new mask. I can empathize with what you’re going through. I almost feel like I’m starting over. Cheers both of you on along with all CPAP users.

A CPAP pillow helped me from unseating my mask. I use the Contour max 2 every night now.
