how can I breathe using a cpap with a deveated septum?
sleep apnea cpap machine with face mask can’t breathe nose has deveated septum
been to ENT dr hence the diagnosis of the septum. sleep study confirmed OSA
(husband) throat closes and deveated septum can’t breathe with or without mask, what to do? sleep dr not helpful.
First off, you really need to see an ear,nose throat doctor. it could be the cause of your sleep apnea. Fixing a deviated septum may help to open the nasal passages. A crooked septum can make breathing difficult. The condition also can lead to snoring and sleep apnea. The cpap is not going to help much.
Why does my Cpap machine leak water into my nose?
My cpap machine works fine until I turn on my back, and all this water gushes up my nose.
Water will build up in the tubing….make sure you empty it before you use it.
Take the tubing off and place it with one opening over a sink/garbage can etc and let the water out.
If you fill the chamber with too much water this can happen too. Make sure you only fill it to the line.
Good luck!
Do you suffer SLEEP APNEA? What machine and mask did you find most comfortable?
Can you tell me what brand, modell number etc…..also about the mask…..or even the site I can find more information on it.
Thanks heaps!!
I didn’t have a choice about which machine to get. It was purchased (through insurance) at the Sleep Center. I tried several masks but the one that works best for me covers my nose and has 4 velcro straps – 2 for the top of my head, and 2 for the bottom. It works very well.
Using CPAP and getting a burn in my nostrils?
I have a cpap machine and i keep getting a burn in my nose,so much that i have to take the mask off, also i have a humidifier attached ,use distilled water and change my filter often, any suggestions?
sounds like the setting on your machine may need to be turned down. contact your sleep center
with having 3 types of sleep apnea & no ins cant get to sleep with mask or nose where do we gg from here?
Having gone through this – it’s a matter of ‘retraining’ the brain to understand that Bed is for sleeping !
If you can’t get to sleep within about 15 mins., get up, go to another room, have a cuppa, read a book (don’t watch TV) until the eyes start feeling tired.
Go back to bed, take a few deep breaths and relax.
Repeat as required, which may take several nights.
The important thing is not to lie in bed Trying to get to sleep, get up and start again.
8 out of 10 people suffer from lack of sleep – 3 out of 4 post- operative patients suffer from this!
It’s important not to stimulate the brain before bedtime – stop watching TV an hour before going to bed – don’t have alcohol/coffee/cola or anything with caffeine in it – try to empty your mind of the days activities.

i have the nose tubes and still fill that way.
My daughter uses a CPAP also..it takes a while to get used to the uncomfortable feeling of "smothering", but she did eventually adjust to it. Also you might see about just getting the nose line, instead of the whole face mask. Check with your local health care provider about the different types of masks.
