A member asked:

I have chronic rhinitis and also mild sleep apnea for which i use a resmed autopap with auto humidifier, and a nasal pillow mask. unfortunately even with the humidifier and automatic pressure my nose gets more blocked?

Switch to a full- face mask. Many SA patients go through several masking systems before finding a good option. Sensitive or unpredictable nasal response makes a full- face mask a better fit. It permits nasal breathing when clear and mouth breathing when the nose is less cooperative.
