I used the additional chin strap less than one week. I sleep with my mouth closed when using the machine. There doesn't seem to be any discomfort or improper use of the mask with the nasal pillows.
If I fall asleep in the recliner - uhm.... my mouth would be open and the rafters would be shaking!!
Did I fail to mention earlier that my DH sleeps better and longer now that I have the machine?
I've had asthma and allergies for um-teen years. The doctor (woman - yeah!) changed my meds yesterday and is a good teacher. I take active responsibility for my health and treatment. We now suspect that I possibly have
COPD. One day at a time and thank goodness for my CPAP!
