Weird nose sensation

Post by mwarn » Wed Jul 05, 2017 11:03 am

I use the AirFit F20 and it has worked out great for me for the past 3 months, but the last 3 nights I have started to get this weird sensation in my nose that is hard to describe.

It feels like there is something in my nose when I breathe in. It's not a tingling sensation and it's not a tickle. I can only describe it by saying it feels like there is something - like congestion or some sort of blockage in my nose. Three nights ago it was both nostrils and last night it was just my right nostril. I have used a netti pot and nasal spray, so my nasal airway is open and yet I still feel this sensation. It's hard for me to sleep because I can't stop focusing on this odd sensation. I have turned up the humidity on my machine and the sensation is still there.

Any ideas on what this could be?

Thank you

Have you tried just blowing your nose hard to get rid of it? Even if you use a machine/mask, you're not a machine and your body will still produce ... whatever it produces at times.

I have to do that once a week or so. Makes a huge difference to trim nasal hair.

Any mask that sits across the nose has the potential to compress the airways in that area. Maybe yours is causing just a partial compromise. Or maybe not. Just throwing the thought out there.
