Its getting darned old to have him sitting in a recliner and me in bed wondering if he is ok ...HELP Please...
[|AI|]  Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor. I would want you to know that he is on Coumadin for his AF and c pap for probable obstructive sleep apnea that he may be suffering. CPAP is not for aphid as you have mentioned. Next not Coumadin or any cardiac medications can cause stuffy nose. CPAP is usually used at night while sleeping, so I suppose he is using it the same way. CPAP can occasionally cause stuffy nose. You can try a humidifier with the CPAP. If you are already using the humidifier, then there is a filter (a sponge like thing) behind the machine which should be changed. You should get the machine serviced. In the meantime you can give him tablet montage LC once before bedtime which helps with nasal stuffiness. Wishing you good health Regards
