The struggle is real. I have also encountered issues wearing my CPAP. I stopped wearing it for some time due to the issues I had with it. My main impediment is ever since I got out of the Army I have become claustrophobic, and I find myself needing to take my mask off in the middle of the night in ...

Welcome,

I am still a noobie myself having only started my therapy in March.
However I can say that the people here are fantastic and always happy to help out with their wealth of knowledge.

Im sure you will do great on your journey to better sleep

I do not know if this would work, I do not remember anyone trying it. Unusual problem. How about just taping each corner of your mouth. With micropore paper tape. Something thin. The mask should still seal. Just a thought. If it does not work, back to square one. :wink: JPB Feel silly posting this,...

With this virus going around, I doubt anyone will take a mask back. But why the $350 price tag? Is there a shortage of masks, or something? Don't want to defend DME's pricing, and since getting my equipment, I have bought solely online, but the price isn't quite as outrageous as it first seems. Fir...

I have tried taping and a chinstrap with no luck. it seems when my face muscles relax in that area the mask no longer seals. Have you tried a nasal mask with a chin strap? Then you wouldn't need to maintain a seal on that region of your face. I have been recently using the Resmed P10 pillows. I do ...

Could be a size issue...For many FF masks if you measure borderline between sizes..go with the smaller size.

I thought this as well.

The F20 and Vitera I tried medium and large. Both leak in the same spot when my muscle relax.

I tried the F30 and the F30i. Had the same issue with both. besides a minor leak issue I found that my nose did not correctly line up with the nose holes in the mask. as such it was always partially blocked making breathing difficult. I used the medium size as that is the biggest available and besid...

Call Amazon and ask them... what if we're wrong? But the $350 is nonsense - I and other Canucks have bought masks here for much less, depending on which and on the exchange rate of the day. Oh I agree its terrible pricing. Its just what I have seen in my local stores. Seems like they are making up ...

Hi Everyone, I have been having issues with every time I roll on my back my Full face mask leaks from near the corners of my mouth (cheek area beside mouth corner actually). I have tried taping and a chinstrap with no luck. it seems when my face muscles relax in that area the mask no longer seals. T...

Why not try calling around to see who says what? I'm not aware of a place that does that, but you might have some close by. I can go with local places, Problem is they all charge $350 per mask, doesn't matter the mask. Im not paying $350 for something I can get for less than 200 online. I see some ...

Hello,

Does anyone know of an online Canadian CPAP Mask supplier that has a trial period? Basically I would like to test a mask but if I don't like it return for another.

Thanks

Hi Chris, I had a lot of issues with mask leaking as I am at higher pressures (15-20). The best i found was the Fisher and Paykel Vitera. I get very little leaks and it stays quite stable when tossing and turning. Not sure if this will help you but thought I would share my experiences. Good luck ge...

I have a question for those who typically have great AHI numbers, do you notice a difference in how you feel between say an AHI of 1 or 2 and like 7 or 8? I ask because my numbers are always really bad, typically in the 8-10 range and I am wondering if I would feel better if I could get my AHI Numb...

Hello, I am still a newbie as well but thought I would share what I found with masks. I had a similar issue with full face masks hurting my nose bridge. I went through about 10 masks and finally found the Fisher and Paykel Vitera. This is a great Full Face solution solution and did not put the same ...
