bi-pap troubles
Hello...
I have been using the bi-pap for a couple of weeks now. I t was rought at first because I didnt realize I had to press the heat button again after starting the machine or else I would wake up with a frozen nose a couple hours later. Anyway, Now that I have mastered the heat, I am having a huge problem with the tube filling up with water. I guess the condensation builds up, but I wake up around 3 or 4 am with water gushing out of the nasal pillows and my nose full of water. It has gotten to be a major problem. Any suggestions or ideas?
Try lowering the heat setting. I had the same problem when mine was too high. Now I use the lowest possible heat setting and it's fine. Another suggestion is to put the machine lower than your head. Set it on the floor if nothing else. If the machine is too high, you will ge****er in the hose. Good luck.
