CPAP and coughing

Post by cancun » Sat May 30, 2015 5:47 pm

How do you manage to have the FFM on and cough without choking? I haven't figured that one out yet.

I use the Airfit P10 and haven't figured it out either... and the P10 isn't a FFM. I've had a miserable cold/cough the last 10 days and I've ripped off the mask because I felt like I was choking. I don't worry about it tho... do the best I can.

As for a regular cough here and there, others who use the mask you use should be able to help you out.

I had a bad cough when I first got my CPAP machine. I coughed so hard, it blew the foam filter off! Good times.

I have coughed and sneezed into the mask.
No problem unless it's "juicy".
