Have you tried everything with CPAP. Nasal pillows. Nasal masks, different masks that fit over the mouth/nose?
Less than 1% use BiPap because its usually effort by the individual to get past that feeling of suffocation that everyone deals with at first. The only "real" need for BiPap is if you have heart involvement. Afib, leaky heart valve etc.
