sinus aggrivation after usage

Post by beecher shubert » Wed Oct 22, 2008 8:47 pm

I have been using a cpap on and off for several years, trying different ones. All give me a runny nose the next day, and many times cause a sinus infection, and have to take antibotics. The one i have now has the humidifier on it, and still the same problem. I need to wear it, or i wake up loosing my breath. HELP

Welcome.
We need to know your machine/mask/humidifier profile. That will help us help you. Also, if you join the board, you can just put this information in your member profile for easy reference by other members. Do you have a microfilter on your machine? Is your humidifier set to heat or not? We'd like to help, but we need to know more.
