I know it’s been a while but I had the same problem and have been trying to find somebody to help me with it for a couple of years . I finally I have had my UPPP surgery on 4-15 and recovered, now using my CPAP actually works in both directions. I am thrilled that I don’t have to wear a full face ma...

I have the same problem as you although without the machine I also have it on inhalation. The machine fixes inhalation but not the exhalation part contrary to what some here had said. I can’t turn the pressure is up very high because then the air just goes down my stomach or comes out the corners of...

Yeah that sounds about right. Except a full face mask doesn't work for me either because I hate breathing through my mouth at all. My mouth stays closed at night as much as possible. If air does come out it comes out through my teeth into my cheeks and out the corners of my mouth. So a full face mas...

"Unless you have a hole in your "cheek", it is physically impossible for air to go out through your "cheek", " Sweetie. I explained NUMEROUS TIMES. It goes OUT MY CHEEK (as opposed through the center of my mouth/through my teeth) TO THE CORNER OF MY MOUTH. You really must be English comprehension ch...

"The whole point of a FFM is that one can breathe either through one's nose, or one's mouth, or both." Yes. I know. lol how many times do i have to tell you it doesn't work for me to breathe out through my mouth? Even without a mask pressing on my face, when i exhale through my mouth it goes through...

well, I have the exactly same problem.and you can find many one have the same problem. Your english was entirely understandable to me. I have the same problem you do. Have you found anyone who understands? I think I might have found one. Finally. But she can't do anything for me. She told me I need...

The air on exhalation does NOT GET TO THE MASK AT ALL to escape out of those holes. It stops in my cheeks from the pressure of the mask on my face. I understand how it all works. Or at least how it is *suppposed* to work. And since I've been paying such close attention for the past year to my sleepi...

I'm telling you my mouth is not open. With a FFM on, the air is prohibited from leaking out the cheek AT ALL so the air never reaches the mask, and I don't normally exhale from my mouth. My jaw is not open. Therefore I cannot exhale through a FFM. If I do let air leak out of my cheek with a nasal ma...

I did try one, it doesn’t work either. Only allowing my exhale to escape my mouth works. The pressure from a full face mask does not allow the air to escape out of my lips because my mouth is never open when this happens . It is leaking out of my cheek and lip. I tried a FFM during my titer test whi...

Sorry to revive an old thread. I'm having exactly the same problem. I could have written the OP. My apnea is mild but often I cannot fall asleep due to my palate closing and instantly having me fully awake. This happens in the dentist chair, I can actually consciously open my throat enough to inhale...
