Just decided taping is unsafe

I just tonight decided mouth taping is unsafe. My cpap machine went off for no apparent reason tonite while I was still awake. I've been taping for the about 6 months now. But this has me scared.

Nervous about picking a mask!

Hi, I'm a newbie. I'm very nervous about picking a mask. My insurance just approved me for my machine &mask. I will probably go get them in the next few days. During the sleep study they used nasal pillow type and I did really well with it. Used a chin strap with it. I'm not as nervous about the mac...
