Headache from headgear.
Headache from headgear.
I have the resmed airfit f10 from for the las t month or so and noticed I am getting headaches where the mask is on my nose/cheek and where the headgear is on my head. Has anyone else noticed this and is there a way to combat this? I like the mask and it seems to work better than my nose and pillows masks. I have tried loosening it, but I get leaks. Thoughts?

Re: Headache from headgear.
I got a horrible headache from any stretchy chin strap.
Luckily, there were alternatives.
When I first got the P10, I stretched the headgear around a rolled up towel for a few hours.
It expanded the fabric just enough.
Now, I have to do the opposite, because it is getting too loose too fast.

Loosen it and wear PadaCheek.com liners - they help a lot with leaks (and strap marks).

I have issues finding the right head gear and mask size for my Air Fit F10. The small head gear with a medium mask. Good Luck
Re: Headache from headgear.
Thanks for your thoughts. I tried loosening it, but it leaks. The headgear is also tight where it wraps around the back of my head. I am wondering if there is a large headgear I can use with the medium mask. I have since been using some old pillows which help the headache, but cause pain in my nose and above my lip.

Re: Headache from headgear.
Maybe someone has tried the mesh headgear with this mask.
Either that or the operator at cpap.com could know. (Or read the reviews on the product page.)
