re: Any CPAP users in here?

I was diagnosed with Central Sleep Apnea in February.
Took 4 months to receive my ResMed.
Tried 2 nasal pillows but couldn’t get used to them as I typically breathe through my mouth due to multiple sinus issues.
Have tried the full mask for two nights now and can’t get used to it. I don’t think the fit is right as it leaked unless I have it so tight it feels like a strong midget is smothering me.
Needless to say my sleep has been even worse since trying this and I’m starting to lose hope.
Anyone use an ASV machine for Central Apnea? Research says it may be better than CPAP. I’d be interested to know how the transition was helpful or not if so.

Central Sleep Apnea
Central apnea much harder to treat. If intolerable to all mask devices may be worth asking or looking into the remede procedure to see if it would work for you. Not in widespread use so I don't know how good the results have been.

Perhaps you require a different mask size?
There is also a memory foam mask.
Check out the air sense F series with and without the memory foam.
I use a regular f20 but I am going to try the F20 with memory foam next round.

Once I started using this one as opposed to the one that went over the bridge of my nose it was a game changer from a mask comfort standpoint.
