jj62 said <Mirage Swift II nasal pillow..... > One possibility is to switch to full face mask (or F&P mouth device) to isolate a bit and let your nose recover. It is good to have a backup for nose problems, but a mask is an expense, you need to choose one that will likely work for you, and fiddle w...

jj62: In my experience – one body, mine – I’m wary about diagnosis of sinus infection given your symptoms. I agree with thorough cleaning of your humidifier, hose, and interface – molds, for example, can cause allergy. Another cause to make sure of is avoiding air that is too cold, as that may caus...

This is day 3 since I stopped using the cpap. Day 1, I still had watery eye, runny nose and felt lousy. Day 2, a little better sneezed quite abit and felt kind a out of sorts. Day 3, today feel much better and clear as a bell. I do want the cpap machine to work for me. Because I know it's better for...

I am going to try all these things you mention. Doctors appointment May 28. Very good, Joe! I hope that you'll let us all know when you discover what humidifier setting works best for you, or if it's determined that there's another problem. That information may help someone else here, as many of us...

Hi Joe. Welcome to the forum! I'm not familiar with your machine myself, but do you know what level your humidifier was set to before you turned it OFF? Is there a dial on the humidifier to adjust the level of humidification? Perhaps you just needed to turn the humidifier DOWN a bit from where it w...

I cleaned the unit really well last night before bed. Put no water in the tank and turned the humidifier off. Woke up at about 4 am, my nose felt like it was on fire and red like I had been on a drinking binge. But I wasn't to stuffy, at about 8 am, while reading the paper my nose started to run and...

A hah! That's NOT your humidifer setting, that sounds like your pressure setting

Excellent call, Echo... Did not even occur to me. Joe, DON"T change that setting!

Wil, you don't think that is my ramp start pressure????????????

that. Looking at the machine screen I notice the H20 setting at 7.5. So I notched it down to 5.5. I don't know what that means either, but I do know it's not connected to the humidifier and it's not covered in the manual that I have. A hah! That's NOT your humidifer setting, that sounds like your p...

Sounds like a possible sinus infection... How long have you had these symptoms? I'm no expert here, but the first thing I would try would be to change the humidifier settings... I don't know what 7.5 means on your M-series, so I can't suggest a setting... I would try less humidity, though. Bacteria...

Hi, I am new to the forum. But not to sleep apena or cpap. When I first started on the cpap. Things were going along fine. Then I got were I couldn't tolerate the mask. So I changed to the nasal pillow and was doing well. Up to about a year ago and has gotten progessively worse where I am considerin...
