1st week on CPAP


Posted by Delores on October 21, 1998 at 12:19:04:

Hi, everybody, I'm reporting on my first week with CPAP. All in all it was pretty good, In just the last couple of days I've started feeling ever so slightly better. I do think that the mask that I got is too big, or my nose is too small or something to that effect. Anyway, Apria has ordered a Gold seal Gel mask in a petite, but if I think that won't work I'll try pillows.
Exactly how is a mask supposed to fit? Is it supposed to touch the inside corners of the eyes? The mask I have now does and its very irritating, plus I can't eliminate the leaks from around my eyes.
Thanks for all your help,
Delores
