All masks have some sort of ventilation system to blow off the air that we exhale into the mask.
They have little vent holes and when you wear the mask with machine on there is always a flow of air out those holes.
It's normal venting. The holes are in different places on the masks depending on what type of mask.
We want that venting so that carbon dioxide that gets exhaled goes out into the room instead of back into our lungs.
Check your mask paperwork and look to see where the vent holes are and if this is where you are feeling the air blowing out then it's just normal venting.
