http://www.MyBrez.com – Top 5 list of causes for sleep deprivations as it relates to snoring: 1. Congestion and Relaxation of the Nasal Passages: Primary snoring (snoring without apnea), one of the most common types of snoring, is often the result of a narrowing of the nasal passageway due to congestion or relaxation. 2. Sleeping Position: Sleeping on your back can allow the tongue to fall backward into the throat, narrowing the airway and obstructing airflow. Side sleeping is one way to reduce this problem. 3. Alcohol Consumption: Alcohol and sedatives depress your central nervous system, causing your muscles to relax. This includes the tissues in your throat. Many people report increased snoring after drinking. 4. Excess Weight: Being overweight can also increase snoring. Excess weight can cause loose throat tissues, which are more likely to vibrate as you breathe. 5. Sleep Apnea: Characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep, sleep apnea is a serious disorder that may require medical care. Distributed by Tubemogul.

My husband has been using his machine for just over 3 weeks, he is quite nauseous and feels unwell he is also having some burning sensation in his nasal passages. Can all this becoming from using the CPap machine it has a warm humidifier. there has been a remarkable change in his sleep issues. does any one have any answers to the side effects and are they common and what do we do.

Make sure he has been cleaning it out well every night and it might be about time to change the filters. He may need to increase or decrease the heat level (to get more or less humidity) which may help with some of the burning sensation. I had to mess around with mine for a couple weeks before I got it set to the right level, and about a year after using it, I changed some of the settings again to compensate for how my breathing had changed. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my sleep quality and can notice a difference from day to day if I fall asleep before I put it on, or if I wear it.

The biggest problem I have is an occasional sinus/upper respiratory tract infection. They’re usually viral though, so I stop using the machine for a couple days, clean it out really well and wait until the symptoms resolve, then start back.
