Needing Advice and Suggestions Please ?

Post by DannyP » Sat Jul 11, 2009 9:24 am

After almost three years of Cpap Therapy using the Swift II and Swift LT nasal masks I think I am Going to have to Resort to a Different Mask Due to Mouth Breathing Issues as much as I hate to. I Recall someone saying a while back that there is a Mask that still uses Nasal Pillows but covers the Mouth also to control the Mouth Breathing But I can't Remember what It was. Seems like it was the Hybrid or something. I cannot use a Full Face Mask as I am Claustrophobic and have heard too many complaints about Sealing Issues with the Full Face Mask. If anyone knows the Masks that I am Referring to I would appreciate the knowledge. Another reason I am considering a Mask that covers the mouth is that I suffer from Sinus allergies and congestion Frequently. Thank you.
