Harder breathing

Question 
Harder breathing
Hey there!

So I've been using my resmed cpap for 3 years now. In the beginning, I had that common issue of it feeling like the air is trying to suffocate me. I got over that pretty fast. 

Suddenly, 3 years later, I have that feeling again. It's been going on for about a week now. I have not changed anything, the airflow is the same as well. 

Does anyone know what might have changed or has anyone experienced this? 

Also i had another question. What is an average episode count for people when this is working? I'm always Between .5 and 5. Kind of a big difference is think. Doc had nothing to say on this. 

Any help is appreciated

RE: Harder breathing
Please post your daily charts. Those will provide insight on what is going on.

Typically for MEW users I'd suggest bumping pressure by 2cmw and that usually resolved the suffocating feeling issue. In your case I'd rather see your charts first.
