I have some serious sinus problems and the new mask was resting on just the wrong place, causing pressure and making breathing difficult. I changed masks and now all is well.

I just got a new mask as my old one is being discontinued through my insurance approved supplier. I got a resmed mirage FX. when I put it on to fit it, I felt like I was suffocating, even with the entire elbow assembly removed. The seal is excellent. When I attached the elbow to the machine, turned ...
