Problem #3. Forced air is difficult to tolerate.

One of the best ways to overcome this issue is by utilizing the “ramp” feature on your refurbished CPAP machine. With this feature, the air pressure starts out low and gradually ramps up to the proper pressure. If necessary, your doctor can adjust this feature to ramp up the pressure slower or faster. Additionally, you could also talk to your doctor about using a BIPAP machine instead of a CPAP machine to correct the problem.

Problem #4. Your mask is giving you an allergic reaction.

If you think you may be having an allergic reaction from your mask, visit your doctor as soon as possible. It’s also a good idea to double check that your mask is latex-free and to make sure that it is clean.
