Re: Chipmunk cheeks with full face mask
If I go to sleep with puffy cheek the cpap machine keeps pushing air in and the pressure builds and builds till I wake up suffocating because the pressure is so high it won’t let me exhale. Lowering the pressure to what it was set at during the sleep study and changing the mask to what I used during...

Re: Chipmunk cheeks with full face mask
One can open the lips while blocking airfllow through the mouth with tongue and teeth. A grinning chimp comes to mind . . . In such a case, with the Simplus FFM, the area on the cheeks inside the mask would have a pressure equal to the pressure in the mouth. Then, there are the straps of the Simplu...

Re: Chipmunk cheeks with full face mask
I think they just have the pressure set too high, and for whatever reason they think it needs to be that high when I’ve Told them before they are suffocating me with air. The mask is a F&P Simplus Full Face Mask and I make it as tight as I was told to make it when I first got it.

Re: Chipmunk cheeks with full face mask
I puts the full face mask on and turn in the machine and my cheeks get puffy. My mouth is open I’m wide awake sitting there and my cheeks are puffy and there is no way for me to adjust my breathing to fix it.

I have a deviated septum, scar tissue and frequent inflammation in my sinuses so even with anti-contestants I have trouble breathing through my nose. Nasal sprays cause drainage and that leads to vomiting. So the question is is there anything th...
