What Do Folks Do When a Cold Strikes?
Got my first cold of the new year, congested, sore throat, coughing. Finding it very uncomfortable to wear my nasal mask while congested, so I gave up. What do other folks do when sick? Any advice appreciated.

I would change from cpap mode to apap mode. You do have some obstructive events sneaking thru. I would keep the setting of 10 as my lower number and set the higher number to 11 or even 12. See where the machine wants to go to keep your airway open. Whatever changes you make, do it in small steps an...

What you are having are clear airway events and increasing pressure does not help because there is no obstruction for the pressure to prevent. You might take a look at your medications because sedative...
