On the second night trying an APAP (Airsense 11, 7-10 range, EPR 3), nasal pillows + mouth tape. I woke up and each inhale felt like it was putting painful pressure on my brain. I had a headache the next morning as well. Looking at my data, did I do something wrong? Or is this just something to get used to? It freaked me out a good amount.

I had the same problem with the pillows even after trying the large. I switched to a cushion and it’s a lot better for me. So maybe that’s something for you to consider too.

Thanks, I can try that too. By cushions do you mean the normal nose mask?
