I've had my mask for about a month so far but my wife informed me this morning that I am still snoring even with my mask on.  Should this still be occurring?  Do I need to adjust the pressure on my maching?  I tried contacting my respitory therapist  but have left 3 messages in the past 10 daysa with no return calls.  
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It probably means you're breathing through your mouth.  Options are:

1. Chin strap
2. Tape across mouth (about 1/2" of paper or plastic adhesive tape)
3. Ensure airway in nose is clear
4. Full face mask

I didn't have great luck with the chin strap, but did with the tape.  However, option #3 is the best I've experienced.  I've hesitated to use the full face mask, as it creates new challenges with leaks (but I undestand a decent fit is possible).

For option #3, you need to work with your doctor.  I use prescription nasal sprays (including an anti-histamine), plus the more "normal" allergy treatments.  I can tell the difference when I'm not as faithful using them as I could be.  Since I've put a priority on taking my allergy medication faithfully, my spouse hasn't complained.

Good luck,

Thanks for the quick response !   I presently am using a full face mask.  I'll have to check into the chin strap or the tape.  I'm going to keep playing with the tension on my straps also as I was thinking maybe I have them too loose.   I am using one of the gel masks and have experienced the dark red marks on my face when I wake up so I had loosened them trying to get a more comfortable fit.  

Thanks again

    chin straps are an option for nasal mask/pillows. don't know of a ffm where you would use chin strap.
