I'm astounded that your CPAP supplier and Sleep Lab did not cover this with you! Fully 30% of CPAP users experience nasal congestion and stuffiness, or even post-nasal drip. It is VERY common and they should have a whole list of things to try for you. ANYTHING LESS is BAD MEDICINE! If they do not want to help you through this they should not be in the business. I realize these are strong statements, but I'd stake my 13 year career in Sleep Disorders on this. Contact your sleep lab and your CPAP provider on this ASAP. Early problem resolution os crucial to long term success on CPAP.
