I don't usually use the CPAP when I have a cold, unless I use
Afrin...one spray per nostril. I hate the stuff because it stings my
nose and makes me sneeze, but sometimes I get desperate...My
experience is that the CPAP isn't able to push the air through..I
always feel like I'm suffocating. Even now, without a cold, I am
taking Flonase because I have stuffiness all the time, and without it
I can't breathe on the CPAP...
