Can you use this product and then sleep with a CPCP nasal pillow? I need to my congestion before going to sleep otherwise I cannot breathe correctly.

I'm really sorry - I don't know. I don't see why not - but I would always ask a doctor. This spray works for me personally, and it works with my mother, who has a CPAP - but I can't make any judgments for you. Ask your doctor - and good luck!

Um.. I wouldn't use any sinus spray right before bed. I would wait maybe a half hour before going to bed to use it.. The cpap and it.. Um.. I would ask a dr..

I use sinusbuster mostly for sinus pain and headache which it really helps. But to answer your question I don't see why not.

I tried the spray and all it did was burn like hell and make my nose more clogged up than before. Don't waste your money! (I have trouble breathing when I sleep also)

I really like my SoClean Sanitizer. The odor that it makes takes some getting used to, but just make sure you only sanitize it for the 5-6 minutes that you really need to. The longer you sanitize it, the stronger the smell. It's worth it for the peace of mind I get from having a sanitized piece of equipment that blows air into my lungs for 1/3 of my life. I am pretty sure you can use most CPAP machines with the SoClean sanitizer. I remember that for those CPAPs that have a heated tube, you have to purchase a separate adapter. The best option would be to call the folks at BetterRest Solutions. They were very helpful when I had the same question about mine. Their number is 1-866-501-3705 and their website is http://www.betterrestsolutions.com/. Good luck.

The pillow inflation can be adjusted to your liking. Initially I didn't think it inflated enough so I actually blew more air into it. (with my mouth, like a balloon). It was a little too much, especially if you don't like sleeping on a balloon. After letting some air out, I was able to find an inflation that was pretty comfortable for me. I'm sure you could do the same.

It elevates your chest area so that post nasal drip is less likely. I use mine with a pillow and I sleep much better than I used to.

I don't think you can. I would recommend passing on this one. After a short period of time it will lose its ability to stay firm. I wake up and the pillow is totally flat. I had to stop using it.

My experience has been varied. If I don;t have the device correctly placed, I will experience discomfort (pain) within an hour. If it is correctly placed, I can get several hours of wear. I have yet to precisely identify what is correct placement. Apparently, the tolerance envelope is very narrow. I make no attempt to use the device while sleeping, thinking that the body needs some downtime relief. My incontenance problem is minimal while sleeping

I don't think it would be a good substitute for a machine that one uses for albuterol treatments. I used to need one of those machines and no, I don't think it would work nearly as well as the nebulizer, which delivers medication to a mouthpiece and more directly in to the lungs. This is more meant to be something like the effect you get from showering when you have a cold. It loosens your sinuses and moisturizes them and helps your lungs if you breathe deeply. It's meant more for a cold or sinusitis, not asthma or severe allergies or pneumonia which necessitate a nebulizer. I eventually bought my own nebulizer when I was badly afflicted with allergies, and there is no way this machine would have been as effective for helping me as the nebulizer was.

No. I am a nose and mouth breather though....mainly by mouth. I think the only way to know is to try it out. I think that it may be a very personal experience. Good luck. I have found it to work very well.

Honestly, you don't. I remove the filters to blow my nose. However, I will say that after wearing these for a while, you will find that you will be blowing your nose much less. My doctor finally got me to understand that this problem needs to be addressed in the order of: Nose, Sinus, Throat Chest. Whereas I was doing it backwards. Dealing with a runny nose, then sinus problem then sore throat then respiratory infection. Now, by blocking the irritants at the source (my nose), I am not breathing in the allergens which has greatly decreased the runny nose, draining sinus and I have not had one infection since using these. I also take zyrtec D now during the active allergy season (which I think is forever for me), flonase when needed and singulair daily. I have had to use a rescue inhaler only once in the past two months. So yes, remove them to blow your nose but I think you will find that as you wear them you will have to do that less and less.

No, but then again I have to take prescription to sleep.I use it for tension headaches. Good luck.

I haven't personally tried this, but I can see no reason that it wouldn't work just fine. This device just moves your lower jaw forward a bit to help open the airway, but I do not think it will prevent a good fit/seal with the CPAP device. I'm using the device in order to prevent having to use the CPAP.

I've used this as a replacement for my cpap. It's less restrictive (not tied to an air pump) and allows more movement and less sleep interruptions. I'm not advocating this in place of cpap therapy but as a different approach to control the causes of chronic snoring. It's way more portable when travelling and much easier to use. I'm still taking data but it's looking favorable. I've also wanted to try the 'mouth guard' I've seen advertised but have yet the need to...hope this helps!

This product does help if you have a deviated septum. It opens up the nasal passages which does allowfor more air flow and ease of breathing through the nose. I can not state that it's a cure for sleep apneabut it has helped in my situation and I no longer have to depend on nasal strips which are not reusable.

Sorry, I didn't test it for snoring block. Just by projecting from my experience with much louder noise, I would expect the product to be effective for that purpose, too. However, this statement is limited by the fact that I have not tested the product for sleeping convenience: It almost certainly blocks snoring noise, but I have not experienced how it feels on one's ears while asleep.

When I sleep on my stomach, I turn my face to the side, so I can breathe properly. With this on, your face would probably be forced straight into the pillow or mattress. It would probably work, but be very uncomfortable.

No, not really. I have a CPAP, and when I don't use it with this pillow, I definitely still snore.

My clients breathe easier after using it but if I were you I would ask either your doctor and/ or the manufacturer. Can never be too safe.
