I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and started using a CPAP in the last week. I've noticed after 1 or 2 hours, I am throwing off the mask in the middle of the night. I don't think I've woken up with the mask on. I'm using the standard CPAP on level 7 with just the nasal mask (not the full mask or the pillows).
I'm not sure if this is because the head piece is tight/uncomfortable, I am not using the humidifier high enough or I am mouth breather and it seems it is harder to breathe through the night? Or maybe I will get use it?
I have small sinuses and enlarged adadanoids, as well as large tonsils and the doctor recommended I get surgery for this- any recommendations there?
I've also tried the device in combination with something like a chin strap

Any advice of how to remedy my issue and not through off the mask?
