New CPAP user questions
I am a new CPAP user. I just got my machine two days ago (Resmed C8 Vantage auto PAP with heated humidifier and Breeze pillows). The first day after I used it my sinuses were irritated and draining all day. Then when I went to use it last night, one of my nostrils was blocked (congested) and I was a...
