Hi Rob,
Welcome to the forums.
Are you new to CPAP or an established user?
Do you use a humidifier?
What type of mask do you wear?
Do you have any allergies?
Can you breathe through your nose OK usually?
Answers to these question may yield a better insight as to what may be going on. -

Hi Jim,
See this link to Fisher & Paykel for extensive research regarding humidification:
At a recent event they said that on autopsy they found that CPAP users with humidification had healthy noses, those without had a layer of dead cells in their upper airways.
If you can avoid condensation, humidification always makes things easier.Comment
