Just a point, you mean "CO" because CO₂ is carbon DIoxide, which is what we exhale, (no less poisonous in higher concentrations) but not insidious like CO poisoning is. Otherwise, ye, good suggestion.Grumpy48 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 15, 2023 6:46 pmA couple of questions......
- Do you have any kind of cleaning routine you do to the CPAP machine, hose, and mask (SoClean or similar)?
- The symptoms you cite are a few that could be linked to CO2 (carbon monoxide) poisoning and perhaps the odor you noticed was related. Is there anything in your room, house, or apartment that might be a CO2 source (gas water heater that may have compromised venting for example) or an AC unit that draws outside air that may be near a parking area or other source of combustion. The source could be transient and not there all the time. If you don't have one, it would be a very wise idea to get a CO2 detector (or a combo fire/CO2 detector).

- You stated you have an oximeter. If it's the kind you wear at night, might it have recorded data that showed a drop in O2 saturation during this episode?
Your nose and body is likely sensing something, but the chance of the CPAP being the source is very, very slim. If it is indeed something like CO2 perhaps the CPAP gives you a stronger concentration than just breathing the room air without it.

i have an air sense 11 and haven't noticed any such odors or had any such difficulties after using it.

Re: Air Sense 11 and toxic vapor fumes
The smells reported by the OP are quite unusual.
If it were me, I would seek an immediate referral to an neurologist,
because the clues point to a possibly dangerous sensory dysfunction.

Re: Air Sense 11 and toxic vapor fumes
That's because those odors and difficulties don't exist.
But, you know, whenever something weird happens, blame it on the CPAP

Could be, his bs still needs to be refuted because it can mislead newbies.
