Has anyone had issues with the air pressure from the CPAP machine lifting the mask off of their face? I have been getting tired of my ResMed AirFit F20 full face CPAP mask and thought I would give their newest full face mask a try - the ResMed F30 full face mask. It is similar to the Amara View and the Dreamwear Full Face mask that fit under the nose instead of over the bridge of the nose like my ResMed F20. I went to my local medical store and was fitted for the F30 and sat in the chair and wore it with airflow set to 9 which is above what my CPAP machine minimum setting ( 8 to 18). It felt really good for the 10 minutes I wore it at the store. I brought it home and hooked it up last night and thought I was on my way to a better mask until about 3 am when I started having leaking issues and the mask seemed be leaking as the pressure increased.

I kept waking up and having to tighten the mask to keep it from whistling around the nose area. I gave up around 4 am and just took it off. It's been a long time since that happened...and it happened with the Dreamware and Amara View masks the same. I've noticed when I have had a good nights sleep my pressure didn't get to the max so tonight I'm going to try an experiment and lower the max pressure to around 14 and see what happens (sorry doc but it's better than no CPAP! and if it works I will request persmission to change it permanently) ☺ I'm curious if anyone else has done any experimenting like this?
