Condensation up my nose

Post by Berkebol » Thu Jan 30, 2014 12:38 pm

I am new to this forum.

I have had my cpap machine for a couple of years, and have used it off and on as I am frustrated with the whole thing.
I finally have started to use it when I wake up at around 4 in the morning and use it till 7am when I get up.
I have tried to use it the whole nite, but cannot muster it, I will take it off when I wake up at nite.
Also when I use it longer and blow my nose in the morning I have a nosebleed.

Another very annoying thing that wakes me up is that water from the humidifyer travels up the tube in my nose piece and wakes me up.
I am looking for solutions
Thank you

I had a similar issue last night, water had collected in the mask, but i'm using a high humidifier setting, I'll probably turn it down tonite. Perhaps a little vaseline on your nostrils would help.

I do the opposite for my mask, I take it off around 6 and take an hour nap till I get out of bed, end up getting a solid 6 hours on it.

The solutions depend on several factors which I explain in the posts above.
For more specific ideas we need to know exactly which machine you are using so if you could add your equipment to your profile like I have mine it would help us help you better.
