BAGS

BAGS
UNDER. MY. EYES.

In my case, double bags, since I already have bags under my eyes? How do I resolve this?

RE: BAGS
sorry I did reply to you just so I know, I just faced this problem

some say to use a nasal pillow

however, I had the problem with the nasal pillow so my next try will be the massive mask[Image: shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcSazr2qZR7Cy_EDbzB51...V&usqp=CAE]

I hope that works for me, it said to equalize the pressure on your eye (my eye shot ear if I blow my nose while close)

yub I know it looks ugly as hell, heavy as hell but what can I do

RE: BAGS
Not sure there is any answer to that.

I guess we as individuals have to make the call if treating our apnea's is worth the cosmetic down side of strap/seal marks and or puffy eyes.
I would think that divers mask that hakars707 posted would leave a heck of a circle around one's face. But would likely be great in a flood or dust storm.

At my age. I'm pretty much over the looking good thing and default to feeling better.

RE: BAGS
This an update since I got this gigantic mask (cheap one $30)

This mask type seems like the solution, when I tried it the pressure felt a lot better like %100 better (around my eyes), the seal and comfort were surprisingly a lot better than expected (better than full mask but less than other types)
but but but

the noise is too much. I know I got a cheap one but the noise from the vent is too much that I couldn't sleep with the noise. I am speaking of 3-5 times the noise not %30 increase

RE: BAGS
I like Bleep or nasal pillows masks, but if you can't adjust, maybe you could try a nasal mask.  My husband uses and likes the F&P Eson mask and likes it a lot.  Nothing blows on his eyes.
Machine:  ResMed AirCurve 10 Vauto
