[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 951984, member: 43498"] I tried a nasal mask with a chin strap and it didn't work, so I use a full face mask now. Often we mouth breathe if our nose is blocked, and sometimes this is due to being born with a narrowing somewhere in there. In my case this was found with a CT scan and corrected with surgery and my breathing in general was much easier. But I still need to use the full face mask. If the nose structure is ok there might be congestion caused by allergies. Don't panic too much about the citalopram as I don't think occasional high doses would do much harm. The changes that long term higher doses can cause in some people is a slight change to the heart rhythm called Long QT Syndrome. It means that a part of the graph produced by an ECG test is longer, ie the gap between heartbeats or something. If you get an opportunity to have an ECG test done they can check for this. [/QUOTE]
