Blocked Nasal Airways

Posted by EnglishEric on July 13, 2008 at 07:16:19:
I have been on CPAP therapy for 2 years now and clocked up 3,000 hours use todate. I have a Resprionics Auto and use a Comfort Gel Nose mask but I often have to take the mask off during the night because one or both nasal passages block and reduce my blood oxygen level. If I get up and walk around they will clear somewhat and run, I can then try the mask again. I have a heated humidifier but this doesn't help much and really makes the mask very wet. Any idea anyone - please. English Eric
