I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and prescribed a cpap maching. Since I am a mouth breather, the dr prescribed a full face mask. I don't have any trouble going to sleep, but I wake up a couple of house later with my face, nose or both itching. I try to go back to sleep, but the itching keeps waking me up. I talked to the people at the medical supply place and they ordered me a full face mesk with a gell cushion, but that doesn't help at all. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem or similiar. I am trying hard to get used to the cpap system, because I need help, If I get still during the day I will fall asleep.

new masks , headgear and hoses should be soaked in warm water and mild detergent then washed before use, this should help
