Is this common for CPAP users during allergy season?

No.

Get evaluated and treated by an ENT.

Thanks, I think my sinus is getting bad and I feel congestated . I felt normal after my Septoplasty last December but I think I have to get in touch with an ENT asap.

How's your overall sleep quality? Waking often? If so, why? What meds are you currently taking? Include OTC and any nasal sprays as well? Your machine obviously wants to go higher but it can't. BUT....if it is wanting to go higher because it is trying to fix really bad nasal congestion (which will ...

Thanks, I live in SC and struggling here due to allergy seasons.

I usually have higher flow limits and now my AHI is uncontrollable way beyond 7-10 AHI. Its tough but think have to hang on.

Hello folks, This is my first year of CPAP use in allergy season. I'm very allergic to pollen and medications helps a bit, but most of the time I feel terrible. For the last one week, my events skyrocketed and I'm getting day time tiredness as well after many months. I always used to have 2-4 AHI bu...

Thank you for the replies. I reduced my max from 20 to 15 last night. I will give it a couple of days and see how it goes.

Hello Folks, I had the septoplasty and turbinate reduction 10 days back and finally able to breathe through both my nostrils freely. I did not use CPAP for a week since my nose was fully clogged and my surgeon suggested the same. Last night was the first time I used after my op and I could not see a...

You turned the machine on at 23:44 or 11:44 PM You turned the machine off at 04:54 or 4:54 AM That's going to total 310 minutes that the machine was on. It can't tell if you are asleep or not as it only records on/off situations. 310 minutes is equal to 5 hours and 10 minutes...which is what is rep...

I feel its time to change the collar and try it out.

i find i can only get about three months out of one before changing out.

i keep forgetting to mention that when i recommend them.

Gotcha !!! I will get the new one tomorrow and hopefully it should work. Fingers crossed. Thank you

Did you change the clock on your machine with DST change? Your machine obviously wants to go higher and can't. Flow limitations are growing up to be real OAs and hyponeas. Are you talking about using a soft cervical collar and needing to replace it? Have you been using one and is it getting tired a...

Thank for the reply Pugsy. I was back to normal after my sore throat but this week numbers are not very promising. I feel its time to change the collar and try it out. Also last night I slept from 23:45 to 4:00 am but in the Oscar , I see till events till 4:40 am . I count not understand how? Apprec...

Hello All, I was able to keep the AHI <3 most of the time these three months, but this week it was terrible. I get 6-7 almost every day this week. The only change is I'm having an bad sore throat pain with a prickly feeling and sinus allergies. I got checked with my doctor told & he has prescribed s...

Thanks for the info I'm looking forward to using this collar and see if I can keep my events as low as possible.

I will keep you guys updated. As always appreciate the help and insights

Good Morning, Last night I slept with the cervical collar, though it was very weird to sleep with it. I felt like sleeping like a rock in a strange position, but surprisingly I did not have any neck pain or shoulder pain in the morning. And for the first time in 3 weeks, my events were less than 3 :...

Apart from what I have posted earlier, i have these in my report. Not sure if that's what you are looking for.

Sure, let me try the collar today and update. Thanks for the help !!!

Thank you, I have edited my previous post to add a basic image with the necessary sections. I actually sleep in all the positions, mostly lying on my back before. After I started the CPAP therapy, I have started to train to sleep in my side, but I'm not sure if I turn and lay on my back in REM sleep...
