CPAP Troubleshooting – Fixing a Leak in a CPAP Mask

“Why CPAP mask leaks?”, “How do I get correct air pressure from the CPAP machine?” and “Which CPAP mask is best for me?” are some questions arising from a common issue – air leakage from a CPAP mask.

It can also cause discomfort in the airways and nasal passages, causing them to dry out and become irritated, even with the use of the CPAP humidifier.
