I have had a diagnosis of sleep Apnoea for the last 10 years, but only recently retested and initiated CPAP. Had a wonderful 2 nights to begin with. No problems adjusting to the nasal mask, but from the 3rd day have had constant rhinitis and sneezing. Truly awful since then. After about 3 weeks of this, with no relief from nasal decongestants, saline sprays and oils I am now on a course or antibiotics. The constant runny nose, etc made my sinuses feel like cotton wool. Antibiotics have helped, as has a nasal cortisone spray. I swapped over to a full face mask at the worst of my symptoms for a few nights. Have also cranked up the humidifier to 8 and temperature to 30deg Celsius in effort to overcome this nasal discomfort. Now I have so much gas in my stomach in the morning it is painful to move around when I get out of bed. I'm determined to stick with CPAP, as I really need the rest and am having blood pressure issues. It's been 4 weeks now & I just wonder if anyone else has had issues like this and been able to overcome them? I am hoping someone will tell me there is light at the end of the tunnel
