CPAP and Recurrent Sinus Infections

Posted by Skyview on March 28, 2007 at 06:14:39:

I've been using a CPAP for almost 2 years. This winter, I've had the worse recurring sinus infections I can ever remember. I'm on my 4th round of antibiotics since Christmas. Doc thinks I need a sinus scan done by an ENT specialist. I'm wondering if the CPAP pressure is pushing this gunk back into the recesses of my head, so it never goes away? Anyone have thoughts on this?
