red marks on nose from mask

upper chest soreness from cpap?

I've been using cpap for about nine months with no real complaints. I've lost about 40 pounds with a change in diet and a little bit of exercise in the 9 months (I still need to lose another 40). About 6 weeks ago I started having mild headaches in the morning. So I talked to my sleep center and and...
