Another plus for CPAP

Post by jasper » Wed Aug 22, 2007 9:47 am

I’ve been quite compliant with CPAP for the year that I’ve been on it. It has been a real benefit to how I feel, and I can’t imagine even one night without.

Last night and the night before, I was miserable, congested, runny nose, all those things. I didn’t think it was a cold though, rather a whopping allergy attack. I just couldn’t imagine how I was going to get CPAP to work. Tried my FF mask, but it leaked and woke me up, so I cleared things out as well as I could, and put on the nasal pillows.

From there it was all downhill sailing. The CPAP pressure and humidification opened me right up, and I fell right asleep. Didn’t sneeze once the whole night, and I got a great night‘s sleep.

Yayyyy CPAP!

That's been my experience with nasal pillows. They help open you up to where you can breath
