Not trying to be gross but I need some help

Post by bluegrassmandolin » Tue May 29, 2007 11:42 am

Has anyone had any nasal reactions to CPAP that sound like my problem or is it possibly something separate that I need to address with my doctor?

I ran out of distilled water and had to use some from our deep rock water cooler. The inside of my nose feels like I have something in there now. I've tried blowing and a nasal saline to clean it out but it still seems to be there. Also when I tip my head in certain directions I feel it more. Of course, my dad would say "don't tip your head that way then", so I'm hoping you all can give a little better advice.

Sounds like you've got some kind of infection or allergic reaction. I don't think you can "clean" it out either way, but your immune system will take care of it eventually.

You might try antihistamine if it is an allergic reaction.

Breathing is a very good thing!!!
