I've got my first cold since using the CPAP machine. I can't breathe through my nose and it's kind of scary thinking what tonight will be like. I've been taking Sudafed which helps some but I still can't breathe through my nose. I guess I'll just try to sleep without the mask propped up on the couch. Any tips?
I had the full mask but have very bad claustraphobia and was having a hard time sleeping. I was given the swift FX to try and it is great. Very quiet, seals well, etc. I was also thinking about getting a cold or stuffy nose and the Swift FX would never work. I am going to get another mask for those occasions. Touch wood, I won't have to use it often.
Thanks for your response. I've found that I've been able to sleep a few hours without it and then have been able to use it for part of each night. I'm managing but do intend to call about a full face mask.
