Hello everyone, my name is Jeff and i'm new here, I'm 50 and overweight and have been a long time sleep apnea sufferer, over the last year I have noticed that somehow my nose gets obstructed, meaning that it feels like a flap of skin in my throat is blocking any intake of air through my nose, it awakens me from sleep and even once awake it is still blocked until I blow air out of my nose then all of a sudden I can breathe in through it again, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

I have a Cpap machine, I have only had it a few months and i'm having a hard time getting used to it, I have a full face mask at the moment, but I just ordered a Nasal mask today, i'm hoping that it will allow me to wear it more because the full mask makes me feel like i'm sufficating

But the thing that I found odd is when my nose gets closed off by some obstruction and I wake up, i'm still able to breathe out of my mouth just my nose is sealed shut, but once i force air to come out of it all of a sudden I can breathe out of it again
