numb under nose and sore teeth.

Post by rosemillard » Thu Dec 31, 2015 12:10 pm

I have only been using the a pap machine a month now and often I am numb under the nose to the lip and my front teeth hurt part of the day after getting up. Do you think it is because I have it too tight? If I loosen it, thee is leakage. Pease suggest anything that might help. Thanks so much.

We need to know what you are using before we can help.

Yes you are probably having whatever mask you are using on too tight. However if when you loosen it, it leaks you may be wearing the mask wrong, have the wrong mask for your face or the wrong size.

You may have been sold the wrong size mask.
It shouldn't happen, but it sometimes does.
I was between sizes for my first mask, and they just didn't care
to let me try different styles until I had a good fit.
