New User Help With P10 - Air Coming Out Mouth
Hello,
So, I have only been using on CPAP therapy since January and up until last night I have been alternating between the Dreamwear Full Face and Airtouch F20 masks. They both have issues that only allow me to wear one for a few nights in a row. The F20 has to be so tight to keep a seal that it leaves a bright red mark at the top of my nose that lasts all day and gets very sore after a few days use. The Dreamwear FFM rubs the bottom of my nose between my nostrils raw after a few days of use.
I decided to try a nasal mask, so last night I tried out the Resmed P10 (while also using a chin strap) and I thought I was in heaven. The mask was comfortable, the airflow was perfect, and the straps were very minimal. I had no problem falling asleep. Fast forward to later in the night/early morning, I got in this rhythm that kept me awake where my cheeks puffed up like a chipmunk until my lips popped open just enough to let the air out and then it would start all over again. Nothing I did would get it to stop doing this and I have no idea why it only happened after I slept for several hours.
Anyone else ever have this problem and have any ideas to make this work or am I just not designed to use a nasal mask? I am so upset because the mask was so minimal and comfortable.
I am posting my OSCAR data from last night as well (I do not know how to make sense of it). There is a big break in the graph because I tried the mask on earlier in the afternoon when it came in the mail. My AHI has been under 1.0 every night since I started CPAP therapy regardless of what mask I use.
