Who knows about SLEEP APNEA and CPAP masks?
-
I have tried various masks--nasal pillows, nasal masks, probably about 8 different varieties. None of them work out for me. If I make them tight enough so they don't leak then they are uncomfortable. Also, the nasal pillows are stretching my nose out, and the nasal gel masks were stretching out my upper lip. I have no medical insurance so it's difficult to get professional help. Do you know of any mask that might eliminate all these issues? THANKS!

Answer:
Go to the company who sold you the CPAP and ask for a mask fitting. You are right that there are so many different kinds of mask according to coverage (nostrils,+nose,+mouth,+full face), size (s,m,l), materials (gel, cloth), strap/ support (forehead, chin). A good fitting mask should not leak without need for tightening. Sometimes, you also need to give both you and the mask the chance to conform to each other. Masks will always less comfortable than not having masks. Properly fitting masks are designed to form a fair seal when pressurized, people often get tempted to overcompensate by making them too tight.
