not sure where to post this but it had to do with the eyes so i'll try here
Any one sleep hooked up on a C-PAP Machine
If so do you end up with bags (pouches) under your eyes from the mask
Know of Any way on how to get rid of them
Hi, Rosie. Thanks for the post.
I am a past Respiratory Therapist's non-active now but understand the Continuous Positive airway pressure(CPAP) process. I have not dealt with the issue of bags developing under the eyes due to the CPAP mask. I will due some research and get back to you.
Some suggestions now would be check with the beauty/make-up site. The make-up site may have some tips for different creams, skin lotions or other ways for helping with bags under the eyes. I also heard a TV advertisement for bags under the eyes from Macy's. The ad talked about ways to remove bags/circles under the eyes.
You might try wearing a sleep shade mask over the eyes large enough to fit just under the front part of the CPAP mask providing a flat surface that may help with the pressure of the mask on your skin and protect the eyes from the blowing air from the mask.
Hope this helps. I will post any other information I locate after researching the topic.
Take care.
Thank you Dean you have been very helpful
