Question 
What do you think?
Hi all,

Last week I had a night where I used the mask for more than 6 hours, but still had 18 AHIs. Would you mind taking a look at my data and noting any things that stand out to you? I am using the Resmed Aircurve 10ST (BiPAP setting) and the Airfit P10 nasal pillow mask. I have often been waking up with a dry mouth and taking off the mask during the night; I have a chin strap but it doesn't feel that comfortable and I often don't wear it. I have the humidifier turned up almost to the max as well.

Thank you!

RE: What do you think?
You have many clumps of hykopnea indicating chin tucking which restricts the airway. I suggest you try a soft cervical collar which has worked well for me and many others. See the ling below for information on selection and use.

You are also mouth breathing, the collar should work for that too.
