Ok, I'm turning here for help. there is just no way this is how this was intended to work. I have tried readjusting/refitting multiple times with no luck. Any time I put it on, and ramp starts to kick in, this thing blows my mouth open like a dog on a highway. When it first starts, breathing is perfect. Exactly what I'm looking for, when I breath in the air flows, breath out and it exhausts from anti-asphyxia vents. But once again the ramp starts to kick in, the anti-asphyxia vents are forced open, and a constant stream of air builds up so strong it forces my cheeks to the side of the mask and my face is blown out. Trying to exhale is a joke, and air is not expelled through the vents. The pressure is beyond overwhelming and I have to rip the darn thing off gasping for air. It was not like this in the clinic when they had me try it, so something I must be missing. My pressure was prescribed to me at 12, and I normally use nasal pillows. But during cold and allergy seasons, I need something different. I have turned down the pressure to 10 and raised the ramp time, even set ramp to auto. Nothing seems to help keep the anti-asphyxia valve from working like it should. I'm literally being suffocated by too much air. Any clues tips or tricks would be wonderful. I'm desperate. This is exactly what I feel like.(http://giphygifs.s3.amazonaws.com/media/OFIsBxe3v7mKI/giphy.gif)
