It's not really an issue with the mask. I tried 4 or 5 of them and I've found the Breeze headgear and nasal pillows to be the best.

I have pure OSA, there aren't any indications of central apnea except for a couple events during titration when the pressure was being turned up.

I don't mean that 13 is high, but my pressure really is supposed to be at 16+. My doctor thought 10 was getting high for a person my age, and 16 was high for a person who is 19 and he said that the pressure won;t ever go down.

I'm going to be dicussing this with my sleep doc in a few weeks; I was wondering if anyone had any relevant experiences.
