Puffy and scratchy eyes lasting all day

Post by justinjustin » Mon Nov 04, 2019 3:57 pm

Does anyone else wake up with puffy, hard to open, and scratchy eyes? This is coupled with what feels like inflammed sinuses, but I'm not stuffed up. Sometimes it seems the cpap makes it worse, despite using a humidifier and fairly stable humidity and temperature levels. I've tried antihistamines and they have no effect.

Explained what "inflamed sinuses" means to you.
Sinus cavities are actually within bone structure. Are you talking about some symptoms in the nasal mucosa inside the nose?

Is the puffy scratchy eyes affecting both eyes equally or one worse than the other?
How long has this been happening?

Are you still using the mask shown in your equipment profile? Any chance it is leaking towards the eyes?
