Uncomfortable Mask
One of the most common problems reported by CPAP users is an uncomfortable mask. Oftentimes, this has to do with using one that doesn’t quite fit right or one that does not suit your sleeping style. One solution is to try a different mask that is better suited to your facial structure. Ask us for advice today!
Dry, Stuffy Nose
One of the potential side effects of CPAP or BiPAP therapy is a dry, stuffy nose. The best solution to this issue is to invest in a used BiPAP or CPAP machine that has a humidifier. The humidifier will provide you with the moisture your airways and nose needs during the night in order to avoid this common CPAP machine problem.
Leaking Air
Another common problem that is reported is leaking air. Leaking air can be caused by a poor connection with the tube and/or mask or just normal wear and tear. The pressure of the forced air can cause holes in tubes. Try adjusting your mask if you feel air leaking out, or invest in new tubing so you can get the full effects of CPAP therapy.
Can’t Fall Asleep
No doubt sleeping with a mask on will take some getting used to, and most likely, you’ll feel funny. Getting used to the air pressure takes time, too. A ramp feature on your used CPAP or BiPAP can help by gradually increasing the air pressure as you sleep.
