Hi All,
my partner has several Bipap masks and now we alternate between different types to avoid pressure sores.
While wearing a full face mask (which he can not remove by himself due to hand weakness) he felt sick (middle of the night) and vomited. This was very scary as the air kept blowing as I was struggling to turn off the machine and remove the mask, fearful of choking. He was fine once the mask was off, he said he felt very bloaty from swallowing the air and hence suddenly sick.
I am thinking that perhaps the settings are not right as one should not feel sick while using Bipap. Any comments and insights are welcome.
