cpap and sleep apnea

Post by wes » Thu Dec 02, 2004 9:24 am

I have sleep apnea with severe allergies. I had to discontinue use of cpap and everything went ok until my roommate started aggressivly using a humidifier...all of a sudden my apnea is much worse. Does high humidity have an affect on apnea?

Are you allergic to molds? High humidity brings the worst out. humdifiers need to be kept sqweeky clean, or they are cesspools for mold - and they fling it throughout the whole room!
