Thanks for sharing the story. My father is actually suffering from sleep apnea and right now, we are looking for a CPAP machine that will work for him. We tried one before but it was uncomfortable for him and he developed some kind of rhinitis problem. I will forward this post to him so he can learn from your experience.

I enjoyed reading your story and am very happy that you have found good success after trial and error. More importantly, you didn’t give up! I also have sleep apnea and use a CPAP at night and agree the extremely stuffy nose dilemna keeps me from a good nights sleep as well. I am in a situation that I cannot take ANY antihistamines, whether in sprays, cold medicines, tablets, et al, due to the interactions with other medications I currently take. Do you or anyone else have any ideas or solutions to this particular problem? I have heard of prescription nose sprays that contain no antihistamines but are steroidal in make up. Has anyone used one of those with good success? I think I really need to head to my doc and discuss all of this with him, but thought I would check here first to get any thoughts or ideas. Thanks so much!
