My Apnea is getting worse! And I am very tired

RE: My Apnea is getting worse! And I am very tired
Oldfart59, I suspect I'm more of an oldfart than you being a 53, however my suggestioni is to increase PS min and maybe EPAP min. Let's start with PS min 2.0 and see where that goes. Leave everything else the same.

RE: My Apnea is getting worse! And I am very tired
Thanks for the info PoolQ, I will look into this ( I assume I can find the manual somewhere on this site) I also did install the resmed app so I assume it has more setting to "play with". 

I did change my settings to what ajack suggested, and I did get a new cushion, but noticed that with the higher settings, I now get leaking at the corner of my mouth. The AHI did not appear to improve as much as I hoped. 

Is it possible that there is leakage in the machine, so its not all getting to the mask? I noticed that I can hear air escaping around the humidifier tank when I breath in and out. 

Oh, and BTW, the wife says I'm old and because of this machine, I have gas in the morning, so I am an Old fart.

Any other comments on this?

Thanks for all Thanks  your advice.
