If you think you are developing a sinus infection, get to a doctor. Sinus infections can be dangerous.

I am sure someone has. As a group we have experienced every malady known to man after starting CPAP.

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related

a netti pot helped me a lot, easiest to do sitting in bath, warm salt water, be patient as the water can take say 5 minutes to get thru at first
