Wrong setting for P10 nasal pillows

I was feeling tons of pressure in my nose last night and letting out puffs of air through the side of my mouth all night long. I just now realized I had the machine set to Full Face Mask instead of pillows. I must have accidentally changed it yesterday while messing with the machine. I've had bronchitis the past few days and thought it was just from air not getting into my lungs. Do you think I did any permanent damage to my lungs by having it on the wrong setting? Like blowing them up too much or something???? Sheese if it's not one thing its another.

No...you didn't hurt anything or do any damage or anything like that.

Thanks Pugsy, that is reassuring.

if anything, setting the machine to full face while using pillows is going to give you slightly LOWER pressure, and it might be delivered a little different. but, no, it's not going to hurt anything.

I believe you Palerider but it sure didn't FEEL lower. I couldn't contain the air because it kept puffing out the sides of my mouth and my nose still aches today like it was overstretched. But maybe as you say it delivered it differently.

The cheeks puffing out we call chipmunk cheeks. The tongue drops down and doesn't keep the door shut to the airway and the air going up the nose and down the airway tries to exit prematurely at the first opening...the mouth because the tongue has opened the door. The tongue got lazy on the job.
