Re: Help Setting CPAP Temperature and Humidity Level

... machine will add less humidity. I have a lot of problems with sinus swelling from the pressure. If the temperature/humidity is too high the nasal congestion is worse, but if its too low I get pain from dry throat and trachea. I used to try to adjust both the temperature and humidity, but this ...

Re: Sinus Congestion

Apparently Candida and Mold in the Sinuses feed on humidity. So this might be news to a few who suspect CPAP humidification is a potential cause of health issues or at least is feeding it… in my case I used antibiotics to fight an ear infection not long before starting to use CPAP… and be of the ri...

Re: Sinus Congestion

Thanks for all the input, my original question and poll perhaps was misleading. Perhaps, I was looking in the wrong place, humidifier/CPAP…. I may be suffering from allergies which started almost immediately after starting to use CPAP (thought it wouldn’t hurt to take a look at it). The link to ever...

Re: Sinus Congestion

Someone should write a good overview of humidification and make it a sticky (wink-wink, not it!) McSleepy Don't look at me....I got that stuff in places but not many stickies.

While too much humidity can cause nasal congestion so can not enough added moisture. I get horrible sinus/nasal congestion if I don't use enough water in the humidifier. So just as too much moisture can be a problem.....so can not enough moisture. ...

Re: CPAP journey starts but still high Central Events

I tried sinus rinse, moisturizing gel, Ryaltris (steroid + antihistamine) - nothing helped. I don't normally have a nasal congestion problem but on occasion I will and can't blame it on a bad cold or flu... for those times I cheat....I use Afrin. :lol: Emergency use only and I know ...

Anyway, it looks like the poll is a tie
The fact that poll problems and sample size has been mentioned to you numerous times, yet you still believe the that it is a tie is worth mentioning, demonstrates you don't understand data, nor are you interested in what others have to say.
