Near Bloody Nose

Near Bloody Nose
This started in the last day or two. I'm currently using a Swift FX. I have plenty of humidity - I have it on auto and it uses up almost the entire amount of water overnight. Yet, I'm getting a dry nose that is almost a bloody nose and its sore all day. This is happening on one side only. Could a leak be causing this? My leak numbers average about 17. I'm using Resmed for Her with a setting of 9-13.
RE: Near Bloody Nose
I would try more humidity and leaks can dry your nose, I would try to get it well below a 17 average if you can. The mask link below may help, as well as youtube.

For auto-cpap, from machine data or software. You can set the min pressure 1 or 2cm below 95%. Or clinicians commonly use the maximum or 95% pressure for fixed pressure CPAP, this can also be used for min pressure. https://aasm.org/resources/practiceparam...rating.pdf |
