Allergic Rhinitis Vs. Sleep Quality

[Vync]

This information might be helpful to people who suffer from allergic rhinitis and have problems sleeping, or potentially have sleep apnea.

Case studies from the National Institute of Health web site:

People who suffer from allergic rhinitis are more likely to suffer from various types of sleep impairments.

Rhinitis (allergic or non-allergic) is a high risk factor for sleep apnea. Patients should be treated not only for nasal symptoms, but also for better sleep quality.

Teac:

The VA gives CPAP and they have to be calibrated. I was lucky I got one that was automatic. I think that when you can't get used to it that the pressure is to high. Just my opinion.

I have an automatic CPAP from the VA , my problem is I can't deal with the mask.
