Discuss the problem symptoms you are having with your physician or respiratory therapist. Most likely they will be able to help rectify the situation. Possible causes include: Allergies (which can be treated with medication), dryness (which could be treated with humidifier therapy), or maybe to high of a pressure.
CPAP is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. This is a system where equipment blows air into a mask that covers the nose or nose and mouth of the patient. CPAP is used to treat sleep apnea, where the sufferer stops breathing several times a night, or for severe snoring. The air pressure keeps the airways open, enabling the patient to breathe properly. Nasal CPAP is where the CPAP mask fits only over the nose. Some people find this more comfortable than a larger mask.
Yo nose hairs get burnt and fallz out!
It burns.
No idea, but I bet it burns the nose!
If you did it would ignite inside your nose, severely burning you. Also you would get chemical burns inside your nose.
You may have to use a "full face" mask (one that covers your mouth and nose). Your sleep therapist or doctor should be able to confirm this.
It burns like hell.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)-- A ventilation device that blows a gentle stream of air into the nose during sleep to keep the airway open.
If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and prescribed a Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) Device, choosing the right mask to use with your CPAP is quite important. If the mask is uncomfortable, compliance with using the CPAP falls dramatically, and not using your CPAP can lead to very severe health problems in the future. Nasal Masks Probably the most commonly used mask is the nasal mask. This mask fits over the nose and is usually cushioned with a gel or soft plastic liner to form a good seal to prevent air leaks. Those with facial hair may have a problem with the mask sealing properly, but that isn’t guaranteed. Don’t let the tech talk you out of trying it, because you have a mustache. Some can use a nasal mask successfully with facial hair. One of the drawbacks of this type of mask is air leakage. Air can leak around the bridge of the nose can cause the eyes to dry out. Other complaints include dry nasal passages and nosebleeds, but this is often resolved with a heated humidifier attached to the CPAP. Full Face Mask A Full Face CPAP Mask covers both the nose and mouth. These masks are great for those people who have trouble breathing through their nose. With the full face mask, the user can breathe through their mouth if their nose becomes plugged. Even if you normally use a nasal mask, it is handy having a full face mask on hand for times when your nose if plugged. Again, these may have a problem sealing for those with facial hair. Try it out before you decide. Nasal Prong Masks A third option for CPAP users is the Nasal Prong Mask. These masks are becoming more popular. They consist of two prong shapes that fit into the nares with the CPAP tube running underneath and resting on the top lip. This allows the user to wear glasses, move more easily, and speak without removing the mask. This is good for those with facial hair, however, those requiring higher CPAP pressures may not be able to use these masks.
Most CPAP machines plug directly in the wall. If you're talking about using a CPAP while camping or somewhere without power, you can buy batteries specifically for your CPAP machine.
It burns your nose alot, and then makes your head feel funny.
