RE: Picking up where I left off - My CPAP Therapy Thread
I'm not sure what happened last night but I checked OSCAR today and was surprised to see a ton of Clear Airways. I've never gotten Clear Airways except the odd one here and there.
I did change my P10 cushion size from Medium to Large. Also changed Cycle from Med -> Low on the Aircurve.

RE: Picking up where I left off - My CPAP Therapy Thread
Hi Sleeprider,
I will set trigger to High tonight and see how it goes. Thanks for the recommendation.
Compared to CPAP it feels like its much easier to hyperventilate with BiPAP. With CPAP the exhalation time was much more drawn out. Now its very easy to exhale faster due to the low EPAP.
After using CPAP it almost feels, dare I say, wrong? Guess I've gotten used to a bit resistance when exhaling...
RE: Picking up where I left off - My CPAP Therapy Thread
The last two nights were pretty bad again - not a lot of sleep with my mask on and the few hours I got in were mostly Clear Airway events again.
I swapped to my large P10 size the last two nights since they align better with nostrils and provide more airflow. The increased airflow doesn't feel too good at times however.
I didn't think that medium vs large would make a difference to my therapy but it does "feel" different. Can a bigger nasal mask impact therapy negatively?
