My eyes get
sore, dry, red, or
swollen
Air might be leaking from your mask into your
eyes, or your mask might be too tight. Try
adjusting your headgear straps. Make sure the
mask has a good seal with your face, without
being too tight.
Wash your face nightly before putting the mask
on and ensure it is dry — skin oil or cosmetics
can interfere with the seal.
Check the mask for stiffness or cracks. If you find
any cracks, please call the Sleep Disorder Centre
for a replacement.
I’m swallowing air
and my stomach
is bloated
Try enabling the ramp pressure feature.
Try sleeping on your left side.
This problem may go away naturally over time.
If not, please talk to us.
My bed partner
doesn’t like the
equipment
Give your bed partner materials that explain
sleep apnoea and CPAP.
Ask your bed partner to be patient. As you
begin to use CPAP regularly, changes will be
gradual and may take some time to get used to.
My mask is
leaking in the
middle of the
night
When fitting the mask, use the mask-fit function
in My Options, this will increase the level of
pressure during the fit to ensure that the mask
is well fitted for the increasing pressures during
the night.
What will happen
if I do not use the
machine
The occasional night off CPAP will unlikely have
an adverse long-term, but your sleep will revert
to your pre-CPAP symptoms.
