Re: Full Face mask for high pressure and bearded man

I shaved it close to the skin with a beard trimmer and I still had to push the mask down till the sides basically crumpled before the green smiley face said I was okay. I tried sleeping that way but it was so tight it was like the mask was on my skull.

Full Face mask for high pressure and bearded man

I've been using a nasal mask with a chin strap. Unfortunately I still get a high leak every night. Eventually my mouth opens sometime in the night no matter what. The doctor says I need to use a full face mask but the only one I have will not seal. I have a Resmed F20 with the silcone mask and I als...

Re: F20 Cushion Design Change?

I can't get the F20 to seal. I've tried the silicone and the memory foam cushion but neither work. Granted my pressure is maxed out at 20/25.

Re: Compliance

Well I spoke with my doctor's office and they want me to use a provider they recommend. Of course the provider they recommend gets horrible reviews online. I think I'll go with a different provider I found locally that's covered by my insurance that gets good reviews. The nurse I spoke with really w...

Re: Compliance

My online app for the doctor's office shows that the perscription will be for a bilevel bipap. I need to talk to the doctor's office and see if they multiple choices for a bipap or if they just have a specific one they want you to use.

Re: Compliance

So I just need to ask the Dr to write a perscription for an APAP. I know the tech doing the study said that I wasn't sleeping on the CPAP until she turned it to BPAP. She said as soon as she switched it to BPAP I was asleep in five minutes according to her. I'm overweight so she said my pressure was...

Re: Compliance

I guess my main concern was if I cant get used to it and end up not wearing it. When I had the sleep study they had the full face mask tightened down so much it was very uncomfortable and then I couldn't sleep for hours until they decided to switch it to BPAP. I liked the nasal mask the most but the...

Compliance

It looks like I'm going to need a CPAP machine and I was wondering should I purchase locally or get one online? Also If I buy one out of pocket will I still have to worry about it phoning home to report compliance. I guess I'm just worried because using a CPAP during the sleep study for the first ti...
