Does anyone here use a C-Pap machine or know someone who does? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

My mom has one and every time she uses it she is constantly sneezing afterwards. She has a So Clean and cleans it every day so I doubt a dirty machine is the problem. The sneezing is loud and continuous. I've counted as many as 30, but on average it's about 15 after each time it's used. Has anyone else had this problem or know anyone who has?

I don't even know what they are; what's a c-pap machine?

Continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) uses a machine to help a person who has obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) breathe more easily during sleep. A CPAP machine increases air pressure in your throat so that your airway does not collapse when you breathe in. ... You use CPAP at home every night while you sleep.

I don't remember if that's what the machine was called that I had to use on one of the two little boys I babysat (6 months & 3 yrs. old) back in 1993. The 6-month-old required breathing treatments. That was so long ago. I don't recall it making him sneeze.

My Dad had one a couple years ago but he got rid of it. He had a hard time breathing with it on.

She has undoubtedly seen that infomercial and ordered the So Clean. There is another commercial which says you need to replace the mask every once in awhile (I forget the interval). She should maybe try replacing the mask and any other replaceable parts.
