Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. People with sleep apnea partially awaken as they struggle to breathe, but in the morning they may not be aware of sleep disturbances.

As soon as I turn it on it sometimes whistles


I am wondering if anyone else has this trouble?

there is a recent interesting news story in Heathcare Asia Daily, if you have not seen it – you might want to forget the new cpap machine and keep the money in your pocket

The humidifier may not be sealed properly..........
Pull it out and close it again and then shove it back into the machine
There also may be a problem with the ClimateLine tubing.
Pull it out from the back and then replace it again
This usually takes care of any whistling.

To BlackRaven135. What kind of mask do you have? Is it full face or over the nose? It sounds like to me there is an air leak somewhere, either not a tight seal to the face, the hose attachment, or to the CPAP itself. I would consult with your respiratory doctor or the company where you got your unit from. I have a Resmed system one, and was advised by the sleep clinic that the mask, filters etc needs replacing every 6 months or so for optimal results. Good luck.
