Help! Face mask bridge and eye problems!

Post by markcolorado » Fri Nov 28, 2008 9:08 am

I'm a relatively new bi-pap patient. My bi-pap pressure levels are pretty high (20/10), so I have to tighten the mask straps a bit to prevent leaks. I have several different masks, and they all cause the same problem - irritation to the bridge of my nose, and them mask 'seal' is actually pushing against the inside corner of my eyes. NOT good. Any ideas for a better mask - maybe one that rests lower(just below the bridge) on your nose? I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions...
