Leaks

[lemdjm]

I have been using CPAP for about 8 years with minimal issues. Have used the Amara full face mask and Airsense 11.  About 18 months ago, started having issues with a lot of leaking.  Tried several different masks and nothing changed.  Went back to the original mask and eventually everything was fine.  This lasted 6-8 months.  Everything has been fine for sometime now, but about a month, started having excessive leaks again.  Cannot figure out what's going.  All my equipment seems to be fine.  My AHIs are fine, but the leaking is excessive and causing sleep problems.

Hi lemdjm! -
The first thing that comes to mind is a change in weight. Also, certain masks, the Resmed P10 comes to mind, will start leaking when it is time to replace the pillows. Do either one of these seem to fit with your experience?

Equipment has been replaced regularly and no change in weight.

Well, toot! Something had to change, different pillow, medications, . . .?

I would agree, but nothing has.  The leaks did correct themselves after the first occasion.  But then started up again and there were no changes. :dont-kn
