How long until you see improvement in BP?

If I understand your post correctly, you took a vacation from cpap for about two weeks for holidays. I know that doesn't relate to your question, but it really bothers me, so thought I'd comment. I've only been on cpap since May, but I'd never consider taking a vacation without my cpap equipment. I can only imagine I'd be worrying all night whether I was starving my brain of oxygen, and I wouldn't be able to sleep. Besides, even though it's an inconvenience, I haven't slept as well for years as I do with cpap. I hope you'll consider taking it on your next holiday.

I am a hiker -- there's no way to take the CPAP with me. Even if I managed to find some kind of solar charger for it, it's just too heavy and bulky when everything has to be carried up trails on a backpack. I'll take it for business travel, but I just don't worry about the camping. Actually, I sleep better out there than I do anywhere else.
