Headaches almost gone
Any advice here would be great. Was having headaches and foggy/dizzy feeling. My pressure range was reduced from 6-18 to 6-14 (average 13.5) with AHI not changing (around 3.5) My headaches are much improved but still feeling it a little. I have been on the new treatment for only 3 days. Should I giv...

Re: Using CPAP With A Sinus Infection?
Another question...can CPAP cause a sinus problem? I have had a headache for a week that won't go away. Any help would be appreciated (I don't think it is mask related).

Re: New to Board and Need Help
Agreed. My biggest issue is a headache that feels like pressure on the top of my head. I’m going to try to cushion the top if the headgear where the hose is attached to see if that helps.

Re: New to Board and Need Help
Tried to put some of your advice into action last night. Loosened the mask to see about the headache issue. May have helped a little, but typically have 100% on mask fit and last night was 88%. Every once in awhile I would hear the air whizzing out since the fit was not as tight. I guess this is jus...

Re: New to Board and Need Help
Thanks....that's provides some 'comfort' ....I think I was worried about keeping the oximeter on my finger and subsequently didn't get the greatest night of sleep.

Re: New to Board and Need Help
Thanks to both. Great thought in the bp but it was slightly high 140/90 and has come down to 125/85 so that’s not the cause. You may be correct About the mouth breathing. I’ve had a couple of nights where the air has been blowing directly into my mouth. I’ll fill out the profile so you can provide m...

New to Board and Need Help
Hoping to get some help on a couple of questions. I’m a relatively new CPAP user (2 months) and went from testing at 54 ahi to average of 3.5 with pressure of 13. I recently have had three issues: 1. Teeth sensitivity with nasal mask (since starting) 2. Recent headaches (never had before CPAP). Kind...
