data for helping with morning headaches

[kingwillard]

I have been waking up with minor headaches and I read that this could be due to sinus congestion, high pressure from my Phillips Respironics System One Bipap Auto, or lack of a heated humidifier. What data from the SD card should I be looking at to help diagnose this? I have a heated humidifier and I'm comfortable with the machine otherwise. Thanks.

Study the three items in my signature. Ask questions in this thread for help from plenty of members.

As far as lack of a heated humidifier, it's July in Houston, do you even need a humidifier at all?

You don't have the machine sitting where an A/C outlet blows on it, do you?

[kingwillard]

Thanks for the info. The prescription called for a heated humidifier if I remember correctly. It's not near an A?C outlet.

If you used insurance to purchase the machine, the supplier should have provided the humidifier.

If you are self-pay, it's up to you whether you want to purchase the humidifier. If your nasal passages are not getting dry, you might not need a humidifier. I live in a much dryer climate than Houston and never use a humidifier. On the other hand, many people must have a humidifier. Individuals are different.

What kind of supplier did you get the machine from?

I haven't been getting any morning headaches.

Oddly enough, since CPAP has improved the situation uhhhhh, errrrrrrrr, you know, down there, Mrs. Dog Slobber has been complaining about having a lot more headaches.

Do you think there's any correlation?

Definitely. CPAP causes spouse to get more headaches....didn't you read that in the manual? Well known side effect.

Got it at secondwindcpap.com.Don't have insurance.

Got it at secondwindcpap.com.Don't have insurance.

Good move.

If your nasal passages start getting dry, you might want to try a humidifier. If you think you need one, ask secondwindcpap. They probably have one you can get inexpensively.

It came with a humidifier because the prescription called for it. Thanks.
