I'm using the Swift FX nasal pillows and I noticed some stinging when I put them on friday night. I found what looked like a tiny blister just inside one nostril. I must have had the straps too tight the night before or something.

I don't know if it can be from using the machine or not, but I'm pretty sure it started after my very first night (wednesday) on CPAP. My right eyelide is swollen to about twice the size and friday is was very tender. I puti ce pack on it friday to try and help bring down the swelling - which mostly worked and it took away the tenderness. The swelling was just mild still yesterday (saturday), but it's doubled again this morning when I got up. There is no redness (to eye or lid), no weeping and no out of the ordinary itching. So can't be an infection.
The FX strap on my right side does seem to sit right across my cheek bone....can that just affect the top eyelide though? Rest of the eye surrounding seems fine.
