Comfort Gel Mask Headgear and neck pain

Post by Torch97 » Mon Dec 03, 2007 5:50 pm

I have now completed my first two weeks using my CPAP machine and mask.

It seems like the bottom of the headgear and the back pulls on my neck which seems to give me a stiff neck and at times seems to cause the mask to pull under my nose. In order to have the top of the mask stay against my nose I have adjusted it to the lowest levels.

Does anyone using the mask have any suggestion. The back of my headgear is different than the online picture, it doesn't seem to have the same webbing as the picture at the back of the head.

Thanks in advance.
