Does the CPAP Mask cause puffiness and dark circles under your eyes?

Thanks for the tag @ilovedoodie -- Hello @cece55, I've had the proverbal CPAP nose from my mask before I found a cloth CPAP comfort cover for the mask but I've never had a problem with puffiness under the eyes or dark circles. I was able to find some information that may be helpful as it seems to be a common problem according to the article I read.

Puffy eyes from CPAP -- https://www.sleep-apnea-guide.com/puffy-eyes-from-cpap.html

Hope this helps!

Hello John,

I found the same post last night when I decided to research this. I did try to loosen my mask last night but did not get a good night's sleep. I kept waking up and adjusting it. The Air Vent on my mask does not direct the air to my eyes...I might have blocked ducts...only an opthamologist could probably advise. I just am surprised at how I look, being that I am getting 7 to 8 hours of great sleep per night. I don't look refreshed...but I feel fine.

I came across quite a bit of posts about the same problem with other CPAP users but wanted to try MayoConnect and all my CPAP friends who always have such great advice.

Thank You...CeCe55

P.S. I tried those mask comfort dohickeys and absolutely hated it and could not make it work for me.
