APAP Ear Pain/Headaches/Sinus Pressure

[Davidacarrick]

So I go from one problem to another...now started experiencing ear pain/sinus pressure/headaches using my Airsense 10 Autoset. Anyone got any helpful hint and tips to combat this? :-(

Using a saline nasal spray before bed to clear any congestion etc.

Thanks

I was getting daytime ear pain & pressure, ear clicking, & ear popping.

Once I turned OFF the EPR, it all went away.

I had a lot of ear infections as a kid (and even into adulthood), so my ears have always been sensitive to pressure changes (driving through hills, going on an airplane, etc.). So I think my ears didn't like the constant pressure changing (inhale with one pressure, exhale with a different pressure).

I had huge success with saline irrigation but not until I added Xylitol.  I had a severely deviated septum from sports nose trauma as a teenager, but it was never fixed correctly until this year.  I would lean over and turn my head, and the water wouldn't come out!!  When I added Xylitol it worked immediately. 

You may want to try it.  My recommendation is to go with a squeeze bottle or a pulsing irrigator.  A neti pot is ok but it doesn't provide the pressure that makes it more effective.

Is sports nose trauma the same as Colombian flu?! Hahaha joking! Thanks for the advice will give it a try

I use a nasal spray before bed and in the morning. The one I found to work best is called XLEAR Nasal Spray (with xylitol). I suffer with congestion almost year around, and this is the only one I’ve found to work, and there is no rebound effect.

As far as having ear pain and/or sinus pressure that lasts for any length of time needs to be checked out by an ENT, just to rule out any possible infection.
