Re: How do I help my Father with CPAP
What mask did he get with the nasal pillows? I would not give up on it entirely. It takes some trial and error to get a good fit. Best of luck.

Re: How do I help my Father with CPAP
I am very new to cpap and just completed my compliance review with the Luna G3. Reading about your father's problems leads me to wonder if his machine is enabled with auto-on and auto-off.
