sneezing

I have been using my C pap for about 1 month. It does have a humidifier, and I use the nose pillows. When I get up in the morning I sneeze and sneeze and sneeze and blow my nose several times. I wonder if anyone else has this problem and what I can do about it.

thanks

I think you may have an allergy to dust. Does it subside over time? Like you are adjusting to the impurities in the air again.

I take 1 Claritin before bed which helps.

I've been hosed since Oct. and I sneeze like crazy in the a.m. I think it may be getting used to the air being filtered instead of my usual dusty bedroom air. just kidding .... I didn't have a problem at first, but the last couple of months I look like hell in the a.m. and my nose is either plugged or I sneeze my brains out. At least I sleep better.

I have also had that problem when using the nasal pillows, with my nasal mask it happens only occasionally. The humidifier can also be too much for you so check your settings on that. Some people just need the passover method. Too much can actually cause you to be more stuffed in the morning.
