mask no longer fitting

Post by Amers605 » Thu Jan 01, 2015 4:19 pm

Hi all,
I have a very small nose and bridge. I am using a Zest petite nasal mask that I have from a previous DME.
The last 2 masks from my current DME are small nasal masks from Respironics. They are both way to big and bulky. The petite mask from Respironics is too small. So I have been using my old mask.
Lately, it seems like the old mask is too small. Has anyone had to change sizes? Could my nose be a little bigger now?

Have you run for political office recently?

Seriously, I don't know why the older mask fit and now doesn't fit. Do you think it could be the headgear adjustment making the difference?

The Zest is a Fisher & Paykel mask and you cannot compare sizes with another manufacturer like Respironics.
