Well the winters have set in here...
and so is my sleep apnea attacks severity...if its apt to term as apnea..
as i have discovered that the prime cause of my breath stopping in the middle of sleep is the mucus (due to cold) which i can comtinuously feel up somewhere behind the nose ,in upper floor of mouth. I mean i keep on swallowing bits of mucus. thats what os causing the breath stopping. and this is happening eveynight now, as opposed to once in a months perhaps.
ny idea how to get rid of mucous. This time the brearhlessnes is very severe almost feeling as if will die if i dont shakenmyself and wake up.

I would never have the courage to apply Sierra's method with the taped mouth. I find the entire experience with CPAP way too degrading and intimidating without that, but I have found that the nasal pillows almost never fail, especially with the judicious use of antihistamines and nasal sprays.
There was a time when I would wind up the pressure a tad if I had serious congestion but I don't bother anymore and certainly do not recommend it without professional advice and supervision.

I have used the ResMed AirFit P10 nasal pillow mask for about 6 months now, and have not replaced the insert, but I probably should. It still seems to be working well for me. I just clean it with vinegar, then dish soap and water.
