If she IS using the full mask, then her C-PAP machine needs to be adjusted to be more forceful to keep the upper palette of the mouth from blocking the airway. If this doesn't help, there are minor surgeries that are done on the upper palette that will take care of this problem. I suggest that she see the doctor that prescribed her C-PAP with these questions. However, I would get another opinion and another sleep study somewhere else if at all possible because I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea at one hospital, but another hospital told me that I didn't have sleep apnea at all. I'm still waiting for the results of my last study to tell me what my sleep abnormalities are since they don't think that it's sleep apnea. Good luck. I hope this helps. If not, ask more - I'll be watching just in case. Al If she is only using the nasal C-PAP, she needs the FULL mask.
