Apologies if this is not appropriate here but I thunk many of this group
are around my age (creeping up on 80).
I have horrendous sinus problems causing a stuffed up nose, giddiness and >stuffed up ears. One of the suggested remedies is to use a humidifier in
you bedroom at night to stop your sinuses drying out.
Has anybody with sinus problems tried this and did it help? Driving me
round the bend at the moment.

A humidity meter should tell you if your home is too dry.

Here in Canada, in modern homes - excess humidity is more of a
problem than dryness - due to the air-sealing and insulation.
Building codes are requiring fresh-air exchanging systems - which
help with humidity and with air quality issues like off-gassing.

SWMBO has sleep apnia and uses a CPAP machine at nights. It dried out
her mouth nose & throat quite badly until she got a humidifier add-on
for it[1]. She still has sinus problems to some extent, but much less
than before.
[1] It isn't all good news, since sometimes the water vapour condenses
in the delivery tube and she wakes up because she is being showered with water.

I have to dry out the pipe of my CPAP every morning. There is an option with >mine to have a heated pipe to cut out condensation.
