BiPaps and head colds

I've posted queries about BiPaps in the recent past. I'm finally beginning
to benefit greatly from using it for sleeping. A couple of days ago I awoke
with a nasty head cold. My nose is so stuffy I can't use the BiPap. What
do people do for this? I don't take decongestants because I'm pretty
sensitive to Rx's. Is there any evidence that people who use BiPaps have a
higher incidence of sinus problems and head colds?

Thanks for your help. I'm not getting much sleep.
