I have the Resmed Mirage Activa Nasal Mask. It doesn't leak, however in the middle of the night I feel too much pressure on the bottom of my nasal septum due to the weight from the bottom of the mask. The pain is right above my upper lip where the bottom half of my nasal septum begins. This happens even when I have the head gear at it's loosest setting. I believe the heated humidifier causes my nasal septum to become warm and tender later in the night, causing the slightest weight on it to become painful, causing me to constantly shift the mask down ward to alleviate the pain. This goes on throughout the night. I have the largest size mask. The mask isn't too small because the medium size was almost a fit. Any advice on this problem would be appreciated. Thanks.
