resurrecting this thread specifically because im in a dilemma i know not how to face

i spent an hour cleaning my cpap because i keep forgetting to use it and then i dont want to use it because its gross. and then i was like wow, im early! maybe tonight ill get a whole nights sleep!!!

unfortunately, every time i try to sleep using the cpap i need to blow my nose, so i take my mask off and blow my nose. then i put my mask back on. then literally ten seconds later, you wont believe it, but i need to blow my nose again.

its been like this for 2 hours with no signs of stopping. i finished cleaning it and tried to slide into bed at 3, its now 5am.

help??? ive tried an antihistamine, ive tried menthol nasal thingy, ive tried my nasal spray :psyduck:

idk I assume you changed the filters? if so, the only thing I can think of would be to try a different mask / nasal pillow config

late to help this guy but what might help is a nasal rinse. I get weird post-nasal drip sometimes, and also allergies constantly, and being able to basically pressurewash my sinuses is a godsend. you can get a bullshit little neti pot or whatever but I have a little thing that actually pressurizes water into one nostril and then applies suction to the other, so it all loops through your sinuses and then gets purged. excellent for the low-grade sick you get sometimes where everything feels fine Except the horrible sinus pressure because you smelled a cat or w/e

just make sure to use boiled water so you don't get the brain eating amoeba

it’s p easy to make your own bacteriostatic water too, which is 0.9% benzyl alcohol / 99.1% distilled water. tho it’s prolly fine to just use the distilled water by itself for this as I don’t think pyrogens are much of a risk for nasal rinses

I am torn, should I save money for a CPAP machine, or maybe should consider an uvulectomy. Mostly because I'm afraid I have a bad case of sadbrains completely separate from my respiratory issues, and I still won't be getting more than three hours of shallow sleep every night, like for past 10yrs or so, and just throw the money at a mirage cure

Update: so I bought the CPAP machine with a partial refundation. The doctor "heartily" suggested me a newest model of Philips Dreamstation.

Apparently Philips has bought US company Respironics, under threat of hostile takeover. Last year, ProPublica released an article about their investigation in patients getting cancer from the redesigned Philips CPAP therapy machines, due to faulty mechanism shedding insulation foam which might be carcinogenic due to formaldehyde used in production. :capitalism:

The machine works and I feel slightly better, but still wake up after 2-3 hours of sleep every day :smith: so basically exact scenario I predicted. Also, the temperatures are shifted and now there is water collecting in the tubes, making really loud bubbling sounds.

I am low key considering selling the whole tbh and start saving money for throat surgery
