frustrating air leaks

Post by bristolman » Tue Jul 30, 2019 6:14 pm

tried my dreamware nasal pillows again sun night . almost made 8 hrs . thought wow on my way . Mon nite after about 2 hrs woke up pillows blowing air like crazy , couldn't seem to get it to stop . I guess finding a mask that works for you is the key to making everything good , but it sure is frustrating . going back to try my full face mask tonight . not moving will u sleep seems to be the key to all mask issues.

Wow, this does sound frustrating. I know you’ve been working on mask issues for a while. Have you looked at online videos about fitting your particular masks? I guess another question is whether you think a hose lift might help, even with the top-of-head DreamWear rig. And finally, if you don’t have mouth leak problems, what about a different nasal pillow mask, e.g., ResMed P 10?
