unable to use cpap for a few weeks

I had a sinus lift and bone graft and until it heals I have to sleep without cpap.
What terrible headaches I wake up with. I'll be glad to get back to cpap in a few weeks. Right now the air pressure would probably blow out my bone graft. I can't even sneeze, blow my nose, or drink through a straw while healing.

Yuck! But on the good side, it's a safe bet that your CPAP therapy is gonna be a bunch more effective now!

Hang in there. Also, you might want to try sleeping while in a recliner. Some folks have said that helps.

I hope you heal quickly and completely!

I too think a recliner is a good idea - especially since sitting up could relieve pressure in the head and help the headaches.

Best wishes!

How long actually could you not use the cpap after the sinus lift and bone graft? ANd how long before you could sneeze, blow your nose or use a straw.
