Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by ChrisK: Does a BiPAP require a different kind of mask than a CPAP?
I’m using a BiPAP (not CPAP) for sleep apnea. I use a full mask that covers my nose and mouth. Does the BiPAP require a different kind of mask than a CPAP? Or will any mask work on both BiPAPs and CPAPs?

Thanks!

It can kill you. Mostly due to overweight. Can cause arrhythmia. Pap mask can help. So can nasal strips. Sleep on your side. Have a test!

Someone I work with heard about this new type of treatment that treats sleep apnea besides the CPAP that is a machine that continually keeps air flowing tthrough a mask that is worn. This new treatment, if there is such a thing is something else. This was second hand info so I’m not sure if this is right.
