Q: Why does the air pressure feel uncomfortable?
A: There are a few possible reasons why the air pressure from your BiPAP S/T may feel uncomfortable:

•The pressure may be set too high. Talk to your doctor about adjusting the pressure to a lower, more comfortable level. Slight pressure adjustments can often fix discomfort issues.

•The mask may be ill-fitting or the wrong size. An improperly fitted mask can cause air leaks, skin irritation, and discomfort from the air pressure. See if adjusting or replacing your mask helps.

•You may have nasal congestion. Use a humidifier, nasal decongestant, or nasal steroid spray to help open your nasal passages. Clearing any congestion will improve comfort.

•Anxiety about the device can make the pressure feel unpleasant. Practicing relaxation techniques before bed may help. Becoming accustomed to the device and settings over multiple uses can also help reduce anxiety-related discomfort.

•Ramp time may be too short. If the air pressure increases too quickly after turning on your BiPAP S/T, it can feel uncomfortable. Try increasing your ramp time to allow for a more gradual pressure increase.
