My cpap machine works most of the time. It does cause dry nose a lot of the time however.

I seem to do well with my machine, could use more humidity, If I can sleep on my back, pillow under my knees and neck pillow to keep my head from moving, do not get all stopped up. Appears that the sinus cavities fill when my head is turned and I think that causes my wake up headaches. They usually go away after I get up. But i have a problem trying to decide if I have a cold, runny nose, sore throat or just side effects of the mask. The cough is from the COPD. Would like to know more.
