I've been using 3 different c-pap masks for the last 6 weeks. With each one I wake up with my eyes and cheeks puffed up. Much of the puffiness dissipates over the course of the day. My doctors don't seem to have any answers. Has anyone had a similar experience??

Does any air leak into your eyes? Are you allergic to latex? Are the masks so tight they make indentions on your face? If all of your masks are the conventional type that covers your nose and uses elastic straps then maybe you should use one with nasal pillows. One that I highly recommend is called the Breeze: http://www.advanscpap.net/catalog/item/210847/43471.htm it's what I use after trying 5 previous masks.

Also, if you're dealing with a good home healthcare provider, they tend to know a lot about the masks they carry and might be able to help.
