Re: CPAP machine is making me sick and causing me lung problems

Nope... anyone want to bet it's not SWA? Me. SWA was willing to try just about anything including squirting peroxide up their nose. This one doesn't want to try anything, they came to get their experience and choice validated and got upset when we suggested things to try. I owe you an apology for m...

Re: CPAP machine is making me sick and causing me lung problems

As it turns out vasomotor rhinitis or runny nose is a well-documented side effect of CPAP treatment: https://www.google.com/search?q=cpap+side+effects+rhinitis&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1&rlz=1I7ADFA_enUS448#hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&rlz=1I7ADFA_enUS448&scl...

Re: CPAP machine is making me sick and causing me lung problems

let me spell this out, cpap causes constant drainage in sinus which goes into the lungs which in turn causes infection and possibly pneumonia source my dr Since CPAP treatment in itself does not do that (though you may have other problems that might do it), it sounds like its time to find a new doc...

Re: CPAP machine is making me sick and causing me lung problems

come back here if you want to live. I find this comment almost comical, you people are so stuck on the fact that a cpap is the only option available, that your forget that it's not. Do you know pal that that cpap put me in the ER? Do you have any idea the problems it has caused me? You are being on...

Re: CPAP machine is making me sick and causing me lung problems

to give everyone a update, it has come down to the fact that my body and such just cannot tolerate my cpap, not everyone can and it is not the solution for everyone. It may be the gold standard, but even that does not work for us all i tired very hard to make this work but my body screams no. I am i...

Re: CPAP machine is making me sick and causing me lung problems

Got it. So you're in a dry climate, breathing AC air, which further dries the air, unless you're using a swamp cooler. If you are using a swamp cooler, remember that stuff can grow in the cooling water and on the medium (Legionnaire's Disease). As has been mentioned, I'd turn off the humidifier; it...

Re: CPAP machine is making me sick and causing me lung problems

Your humidifier setting is the problem. Period. Get a whole-room humidifier if your home is in the desert, but stop pouring water into your own system and then wondering why you're sick... move if you have to, but there's no magic answer, just common sense and it needs using. ok then tonight i will...
