You might want to try a nasal mask. I have had more success with this versus a full-face.

There are surgical interventions that you may want to look into -- especially if your apnea is this severe. Check the NON-CPAP OPTIONS forum.

There are different brands and types of masks. You can try multiple ones to see if it is any different.

If you're not going to look into any surgical intervention, I would try a nasal mask.
