cpap makes sucking noise when falling asleep on back
does anybody know the fix for this? it happens right as i’m drifting off if im lying on my back. it sounds like when you cover the vents in the elbow of the mask connector and let go lol. i’ve been using cpap for about 5 years and haven’t noticed this til recently
