I don't know if this will be of any value to you but I recently started using a CPAP with a HEPA filter in the line along with a humidifier. What I have found is that in the morning I can actually breath better through my nose than I used to be able to before using CPAP. I'm thinking that the HEPA filter is taking out the mold spores, dog dander, etc and the humidifier is keeping my sinuses wetter and these are the reason for the improved breathing. All is not a bed of roses though because sometimes the machine seems to plug up my nose during the night.
