AIR POCKETS FORMING INSIDE CHEEK

Post by JayR_1945 » Sat Jun 13, 2020 5:11 pm

I have been having trouble with my ResMed S9 with a humidifier (H5i), and w/ supplemental O2. The grommet (rubber washer) at the output port came loose and broke. So, the VA sent me a new H5i and tub.

Now I have pockets of air building up in my cheek. It sounds (feels) like a mouth fart, keeping me awake. I am wondering about the recently added OTC "Tums" & Pepto Bismal.

The VA also sent me complete A10, with a new tangled mask. I'm sill reading the "DIRECTIONS" and putting it together. :roll:

Please, any thoughts?

. . . a new tangled mask. . . . .
A lingerie bag helps when washing headgear--to keep it from tatting together with bras and underwear.
