Nose Burning

Post by snorlox » Mon Mar 21, 2005 12:22 pm

I'm using the nasal pillow and find them comfortable with the following exception. I wake up in the middle of the nite and find my nasal passage burning like fire. It seem like I get condensation built up in the noes piece and then inhale the water up my nose. It REALLY burns!! I've tried to vary the temperature settings on the humidifier. but havnt found a comfortable setting yet. RIght now I'm set at a pressure setting of 13. I wonder if I should lower it?? I also read about a hose heater that is suposed to stop rain out and prewarm the air.

Does anyone have any experiance with this type heater?? Where can I get one?

Thanks
Britt
