Hi,

My name is Irma Hudson and I live in Kansas City, Missouri. Three months ago I went for a routine checkup and had high blood pressure and the doctor heard something in my heart. So she sent me for an echocaridiogram and that showed I had a problem with one of the valves in my heart. One of the tests they did to find the cause was a sleep study and it showed that I have severe sleep apnea. So I got fitted with a remstar plus (m series) and first they gave me a pillow mask and that didn't work so now I have a Mirage Quattro mask. I sometimes feel like I am not getting any air at all and waking up hot and flushed. Trying to figure out what is happening. I have a pretty large hole in my septum that I have had since childhood and am wondering if that could interfere with the airflow or anything.
Thanks for any help you can give me! Irma

That's a little different from my problem, the full face mask didn't work too well for me, I don't quite know why. But yes, it is better now that my nose is breathing better.

The ENT told me to use the AYR Gel No-Drip Sinus Spray four or five times a day, and the bottle says use as often as desired. I would suspect you would find it very helpful with your inflamed nose. The website is www.bfascher.com and they have a nifty little page where you can find out who carries it. In my neck of the woods it is in grocery stores, but not in pharmacies :-(. They also have a regular spray and a thicker gel; this stuff is in between and just wonderful. I have to remind myself to use it several times a day now... don't ever want to get that dry again! Irma
Thanks! I'm sending my husband out to see if he can find it. If he can't I'll have to order it online too. I'll have to report back how it works.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that it helps! Irma
