Stop Snoring Now

Why has my CPAP experience gotten worse over time rather than better?

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about 6 months ago and started using a CPAP machine to sleep. Starting the first night and going for about 4 months I was so happy because the machine improved my sleep dramatically. No more yawning in the morning/all day, etc. The machine didn’t bother me, the mask didn’t bother me, it was great.

Then, it all started to change. It seems I wake up at night with the mask leaking air out of one side or the other. Even the darn velcro straps seem to be bothering me…too tight one minute, too loose later. Waking up tired…still better than before cpap I guess but nothing like those first four months. The setting has been adjusted once to increase the pressure. Still, I’m just not having a good experience.

Is this normal? Anybody else run into this?

Thanks.

I am sleeping with CPAP machine for more than 4 years now. Remember that each CPAP equipment needs to be adjusted to it.
In a reference website you can take a look at machines I been using and also all CPAP masked I’ve tried. Good Luck!
