Stuffy nose, lung congestion

Post by Coollou716 » Mon Mar 18, 2019 4:43 pm

Hi, I am a new CPAP user (about one month now). I noted my CPAP machine was dirty (I immediately cleaned it), and I think it caused me to have these symptoms(it’s been about two and a half days now). Has anyone had this experience?

Do you have your humidity cranked up when local conditions don't need it? Are you need (relatively) water? How's the humidity in your home? You could easily be giving yourself a 'cold' or worse if you don't need the added humidity.

Have you tried Sleeping Bat Style, it will keep your nose from running into your lungs. It's cheaper than buying a No Clean. Jim
Odd's are XPAP had nothing to do with your snuffles, unless you are bothered by cleaner air.
