Re: Mask pushing towards eyes

Thank you both for your rapid replies!

I am always congested, but that has relieved a lot since getting my machine. Seriously. I'm wondering if I break my habit of mouth breathing.

Mask pushing towards eyes

Hi all, My mask seems to put pressure towards my eyes. I wake up with bags under my eyes. I also think that my eyes are drying out because of it. I am a VPAP user so my mask is tied down VERY TIGHT on my face to prevent leaks. I have an Amara Full Face Mask. Can I switch to nasal pillows with high p...

Re: Mask and Nasal Pillows Question - ASV

Thank you all! I'm using the Amara Full Face, not the Amara View.

My first night was great, even with 52% leak. But, night 2, not so much. Tonight I dread fighting with the mask.

Mask and Nasal Pillows Question - ASV

Hello, I am new to therapy and currently have an Amara full face mask. I have it cinched down very tight due to air leaks associated with the high pressure that my machine puts out. I'm on ASV. I tried to start by slowly tightening it. Now I have creases on my face and the mask is still leaking. I h...

Re: ASV - After the 1st night questions

It blows so hard that it's practically levitating off of my face at times.

ASV - Tonight's the night!

Tonight is the night. I get to finally start therapy. This is a costly journey, especially for ASV therapy. I just purchased a used S9 VPAP ADAPT SV. I have been waiting for a couple of parts that should be on my porch when I get home. I'm getting excited and hopeful for a good night of sleep and mo...

Re: FitBit -- worth it?

Love my fitbit for day activities. But, I agree, it only detects movement at night. I don't think it is very accurate for sleep activities.

Re: what has happened to me

I had a heart attack back when I was 40. I'm 47 now. Make good/healthy changes so that your children and wife can enjoy you longer.
