Hi Everybody,
I used the CPAP first night for 6.5 hours. Second night I felt I was getting stuffy but still put it on but I couldn't breath in the middle of the night and I took it out after 3.5 hours. Now today I have a cold. I guess I will not be able to use it since my nose is totally stuffed. So, what do you do when you have cold?
Thanks,
Uykucu
3rd day and I have a cold! What now?

I use a FF Mask, if you can only have one mask why not settle for one that covers all the holes. Jim
The reason they gave you a nasal mask was it was cheaper for them, they make more profit, and they get a chance to sell you a FF mask later to you when you have a cold.

Hi, many people find they get congested and stuffy when using the humidifier, and if they lower the setting or don't use it altogether (it's only a 'comfort' attachment, not a necessary 'therapy' one) their 'colds' clear up and they're fine. I've never used mine, but then I live a block from the ocean, though even when I didn't, didn't find I needed it.
