newbie...have questions

Post by ladybugC » Wed May 27, 2015 4:18 pm

just got signed up on here...been using my machine for about 7 weeks...I have central as well as obstructive sleep apnea, so I am really serious about using my machine
question...my nose is very stuffy, before I put my mask on and sometimes during the night...I have been using nasal spray because I can't seem to breathe well enough unless I do...however, I know I should not use it all the time...I tried a saline spray, but that didn't work...I am sure the stuffy nose is due to allergies and for now I can cope, but what if I get a cold?
question...when I wake up in the am, my eyes are "soupy"...I don't seem to have leaks around the mask and my report says I have a good seal
question...I don't have a problem with my mouth opening, however, my tongue seems to always be between my teeth...is that normal? It doesn't seem sore the next day
ok...that's it for now all help is appreciated

Please go to the Control Panel and list your equipment. It will make it easier to give you suggestions if we know what machine and mask you are using.
