mask causing bags under my eyes

Post by warehammer12 » Wed Mar 11, 2015 2:15 pm

I am starting to develop big bags under my eyes for the first time. MY CPAP mask fits and works well but this is really an annoying problem.
Is this a common issue with others? Are there any other styles of masks that help deal with this problem?

In order to give any help we need to know what mask and what equipment you are using.

I have the same problem. I've always seemed to have small bags but since I started on CPAP Therapy they have doubled or tripled in size and appear to be thin skinned and full of watery like fluid. I'll look forward to the replies you receive. I've considered the possibility that the moisture in the humidifier might have something to do with the cause.
