You say "more". In your OP, you did not mention drying. Are your nasal passages getting dry? Actually i just assumed that higher humidity would be beneficial for sinusitis related issues. The same way people recommend using saline nose spray. I don't have a problem with dried out nasal passage. I'm...

Re: How to tolerate the CPAP more than 4-5h per night?

Yes, you can safely use fluticasone every evening, indefinitely. Although it seems counterintuitive, you might try a lower humidity setting. For some people, it makes their noses and sinuses more comfortable. You won’t know for sure how it would affect you without experimenting. You might try raisi...

In the beginning I had the same exact problem, FFM resolved. Nasal rinse, saline nasal spray works a charm for me. Wish you well.

Re: How to tolerate the CPAP more than 4-5h per night?

Is it the nasal congestion that makes it hard for you to breathe, or something else? If nasal suggestion, you've already had some good suggestions. I will just add that it could be the humidifier settings and it would be worth it to try adjusting that. Do this slowly. Make ONE adjustment--1 notch u...

Have you tried using (a) more and (b) less humidity? Have you tried using fluticasone? In the U.S. you don't need a presc...
