COLD NOSE

Using my CPAP machine makes my nose cold.

i havent had the cold nose yet but my mask sometimes rides up and is in my mouth

I had the same problem until I changed masks to nasal pillows instead.  The pillows is much easier to use for me than the mask that goes over the nose.

I'm gonna have to try the nasal pillows. I can't stand my nose freezing all night. My CPAP has a heater for the water but my nose still freezes.

cold face, sore face from tight straps, marks on face for hours from straps, cold nose, dry eyes from excess air flow in night

lots to put up with

glad I am still alive to put up with the issues

sleep disturbed more times than not with vacuum sounding in my ear for the first four years

now it is more like a purr as I am down to level six from bi pap level seventeen and eleven

still sore nose and face marks

sure wish I was weened off it by now

I had that problem until I added the humidifier to my machine.  Now, the air is more comfortable.

I can help with this one!!! Ask your dr for a prescription for a heated humidifier!!! it sits under the machine you currently have. You can use the heat when it's cold and above everything else the humidifier has a container for water so it doesn't dry out your nasal passage. You won't regret it, get one now!!

I've used nasal pillows since I started CPAP back i*****

For me it's the outside of my nose that gets cold - maybe it's poor circulation. (our old house is very cold in winter).  Unfortunately airflow makes too much noise to cover it up at all.

Also have dry eyes issues due to airflow when getting up in the morning. 

My nose is always cold - cpa*****t!  It tends to warm up from my exhales though.  I use the Respironics Comfort Gel mask.
