Ear Infections

Has anybody had problems with ear infections while on CPAP. I was just getting compliant when I got the mother of all ear infections. I have only had 20% hearing in each ear for about a month now. The ENT says my problem is probably not caused by the CPAP, but using it wont help things along. My pre...

Nose Burning

I'm using the nasal pillow and find them comfortable with the following exception. I wake up in the middle of the nite and find my nasal passage burning like fire. It seem like I get condensation built up in the noes piece and then inhale the water up my nose. It REALLY burns!! I've tried to vary th...

Trying to stay compliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, so far I've tried the nasal mask and the pillows. Each have an advantage but I'm still having problems keeping them on after 3 hours. I'm really starting to get frustrated!!!!!!!! I've tried loosening the mask till it just starts to leak to releave pressure on my face. I tried to adjust the pi...

To each thier own!

I got this unit last nite. It's the first time I've beed able to sleep thru the night . It did take a little tweeking, and I had to come up with some imaginative ways to lay on my side, but I found it quite comfortable. That being said, it was only one night. I'll have to see how I feel after a week...

Mask types for sleeping positions

Is, there any hard and fast rules as to which type of mask is better suited for a particular sleeping position? I usually sleep on my sides and use a nose only mask. I find that is moves out of position and leaks alot when on my side. I'm using a resmed ultra mirage.

Still tired

I've been on my unit for about 3 weeks now. I'm averaging 3.6 hours a nite compliance. I go to sleep just fine, but find myself ripping the mask off in the wee hours. Seems like once I awaken, I cant get comfortable with the mask. I keep plugging away, but wish I could take a vacation from it. I'm n...

Mask Sizing

I'm using the Resmed Activa mask I got from Apria. Still having problems with comfort. It really hurts around my nose after 3 to 4 hours and wakes me up. Ive got it adjusted as loose as I can without leaks, but to no avail. It feels like when the mask seal inflates it irritates the sides of my nose....
