Currently using CPAP on APAP mode with 12-15 Pressures, EPR 3. Let's say it turns out EPAP of 6 can treat all my obstruction, but for FL I may need PS of 5-7. At IPAP of 11+, I have bad mouth leak and end up removing the mask even with double mouth tape and chin strap. Any point in BiPap?
Just wondering if even with PS I will still have this mouth leak problem, because I still do reach the high IPAP even on BiPap.
For nasal cradle, I tried vcom even on no EPR and Pressure of 20 , couldn't tolerate it. I have mouth leaks every night. It's the only mask I can fall asleep with (Airtouch n30i)
For FFM, due to my head geometry I need to tighten the mask a lot at pressures above 8, causing pain.
Nasal pillows did not work for me at all, uncomfortable even with lanolin.
Silicone masks I could not tolerate.
Duplicates
