If you are claustrophobic, a full face mask will probably be uncomfortable for you.....when you meet with the RT to get your CPAP, ask to see all options they have for the masks.....you can choose which one to try out.....it may take you a few trials to find the one that works best for you.

MissDi ... It's not as scary as you think it will be. I just got my CPAP 3 weeks ago, and there already have been noticeable changes....no more falling asleep watching TV, MORE energy, lower B/P ... I feel soooo much better. It may take you a bit to get used to, but once you do, you will be amazed. ...
