Hi Everyone.
You guys seem like you could help me. I am currently wearing a full nose mask.
My therapist said I am right on the cusp of being able to use a nasal pillow. I am set for a 12.
I would like to wear one, but the one she gave me doesn't allow me to exhale like the nose mask. So, when I wear it, I feel like I'm choking on air. No way I can sleep.
Does anybody recommend a nasal pillow mask that doesn't cause this?
Also, I thought I would get used to the noise, but it seems to be more annoying. Suggestions?
Thanks!
Can you recommend a good nasal pillow mask?

Please give us the name of what you do have so we can get an idea of what's not working.

If you are currently successfully using a "full nose mask" (nasal mask)....why do YOU think it is necessary to change?Bgdaddy55 wrote:Hi Everyone.

Not enough information .... there are a lot of nasal pillow masks available, and they are all good.... just that some are better than others
Fill out your profile with machine and mask and pressure setting , cause pressure makes a difference.

If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!
