Re: Using a cpap when you have a cold..
The ResMed dudes know the truth: Stopping using your CPAP when you have a cold is not advised as it can make other cold symptoms such as a sore throat a lot worse. Then, there are their lawyer dudes: However if you are too uncomfortable, discontinue CPAP until cold symptoms improve and then resume t...
