[CPAP] Extreme difficulty with CPAP after trying everything
#11
RE: Extreme difficulty with CPAP after trying everything
If all the above alternatives cannot help, the last option is the nasal stent. It helped me with both my palatal prolapse and nasal congestion. The good news is that you do not need the longer versions because you do not have the former issue. You can use the shortest (Sport) version, which is much easier to tolerate and insert than the hybrid one I described in the following thread.

RE: Extreme difficulty with CPAP after trying everything
Thank you G Szabo for the great advice. Actually, a leak seems highly likely. Even on lower humidities with the nasal pillows, a full humidifier tank would be drained by morning.

Is the N30 a good option for a nasal cradle?

The N30I is more stable on the head. Also, the N30 is integrated with a long, unheated hose part you do not want. 

But it would be best if you considered your nose congestion. Until it is resolved, you should stay with your FF mask, which is also better for the higher pressure you need.
