Things that have helped me:
- nose mask rather than full face mask
- nasal spray if my nose feels congested
- upping the pressure. In theory a professional is supposed to set your pressure but I do tweak mine. If the setting is not visible it's probably in a hidden menu - Google for how to enable it for your machine.
- sleeping pills
I hope you find a solution. Sleep apnea is terrible.
I’ve seen someone go from AHI of 15 to a 1 during at at-home sleep study and asked what they did differently, they said their nose was stuffy so they took some cold medicine/allergy before bed.
I wish at-home sleep tests didn’t require a physician to prescribe and review results. It would allow people to experiment with sleeping positions, snore guards and other methods to get their AHI down.
