Full face mask causes severe bags under my eyes.
Full face mask causes severe bags under my eyes.
When on occasion I don't use my CPAP I wake up in the morning with no sign of bags under my eyes. When I do use my CPAP with my AirFit F20 full face mask I wake up in the morning with severe bags under my eyes. The mask is adjusted tightly to prevent it from leaking. Clearly it is the pressure of the mask that results in the bags under my eyes. I would like to fix this problem with a different mask. I've never tried a nasal mask but I would be willing to try if I felt that it wouldn't distort my face so much. I'd appreciate any suggestions for solving my problem. BTW I'm 88 years old which I think has something to do with the problem.

Instead of tightening the mask to zero leaks, try a mask liner to quiet the little leaks
that bother you. Your baggy eyes are telling you that the mask is too. darn. tight.
