sneezing

Post by zippy » Sat Oct 25, 2008 6:39 pm

OK, here goes. I've been on c-pap for 3 years now. I sneak in and read the posts from time to time but never posted any thing myself. Now I have a question. I seem to have a problem with sneezing fits that do no stop until I blow my nose. Am wondering if this is related to using c-pap and does anyone else have this problem?

My mom has that issue and is *not* on CPAP.

Good question - I've done this as long as I have memory and I've only been on XPAP for a year and a few months. I think it's the body's way of ensuring you will blow your nose ridding it of the fluid that is carrying out impurities that would otherwise make it into your sinuses and cause problems.
