Stuffy nose while using your bipap machine?

Living on Oxygen for Life

I finally got tired of fighting the stuffy nose problem that I have when I go to bed. Whether for a nap or a night long sleep, I strap on my bipap mask and plug in my oxygen tubing to the mask and crawl into bed to lay my head on a stack of two pillows. No matter what I did, I would always start off the night with a stuffed up nose that lasts anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes before it clears enough to half way breathe. I use a nose mask… not a full face mask with my bipap. So I have to breathe through my mask. I also have a small fan blowing all night directly in my direction from about 4 feet away on my dresser. That helps me with the claustrophobia feeling I get while wearing the mask.

So, I broke down and bought some Breathe Right Advanced nose strips. I tried one last night and let me tell you… It worked!!! Wow! (doing a happy dance!) From the moment I lied down and until I woke up, I was breathing through a clear nose! This is a huge victory for me. Yea!!! Why did I wait so long to try these things???

On Breathe Right’s website, they are offering a way to receive a free sample by mail and a coupon towards a purchase of the strips. I’m posting this because I’ve had people ask about this problem. I hope this will help them too. Here’s the link: http://www.breatheright.com/offers I don’t know how long this offer will last. So, hurry!

The Living On O2 for Life Community Facebook Page is slowly building into something great. Come check it out! Have a REALLY GREAT DAY and don’t forget to follow my blog!  http://www.breatheright.com/offers

 

UPDATE!

I just noticed the Breathe Right offer link was broken momentarily but I fixed it. I think. Sorry about that!
