Humidifiers: Air moisture eases skin, breathing symptoms Humidifiers can also help ease symptoms of a cold or another respiratory condition. But be cautious: Although useful, humidifiers can actually make you sick if they aren't maintained properly or if humidity levels stay too high. If you use humidifiers, be sure to monitor humidity levels and keep your humidifier clean. Dirty humidifiers can breed mold or bacteria. If you have allergies or asthma, talk to your doctor before using a humidifier.

The average patient however requires between 6 and 14 centimeters of water pressure, and individual pressure requirements are calculated for patients after a sleep study in a laboratory.

9 Reasons Why I Hate CPAP Allergy medications or nasal saline irrigation may help some people, but even if you’re able to benefit from CPAP, it’s probably not working as well it could work due to a stuffy nose.

Mayo Clinic Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It includes a small machine that supplies a constant and steady air pressure, a hose, and a mask or nose piece. Common problems with CPAP include a leaky mask, trouble falling asleep, and a dry mouth or nose. The good news is that if one CPAP mask or device doesn't work for you, you have other options. And most CPAP masks are adjustable, to help make them more comfortable for you.

- ECRI has learned of several incidents in which the heated wires used with heated-wire humidifiers have melted and sometimes charred disposable breathing circuits. Melting of the plastic tubing can occlude the breathing circuit, resulting in hypoventilation; if charring occurs, fumes may enter the patient's lungs.

Sleep and CPAP Adherence Most patients will require a period of adjusting to the presence of the CPAP mask on the face and the feel of the air pressure delivered by the CPAP unit. The time of this adjustment is variable – anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. I have had some patients take months to adjust to CPAP.

Humidifier In winter, especially when cold outside air is heated indoors, the humidity may drop as low as 10-20%. This low humidity can cause adverse health effects, by drying out mucous membranes such as the lining of the nose and throat, and can cause respiratory distress.

Our Collective Wisdom For many people, the first few weeks of CPAP therapy can be miserable. The mask and other side effects (noise, machine feel and air pressure, mask leaks, venting on arms, rainout/condensation, aerophagia/swallowing air etc.) may be intolerable at first for far too many nights.
