Because of the potential consequences of unrecognized cardiac issues, of course vigilance is warranted. I used to get runs of PVC's and nearly collapse but for some reason they calmed down after CPAP treatment. For some reason, I'm afraid that the CPAP is making them worse, but that could be my anx...

Thanks all.

I really appreciate it. Truly. Wonderful people here. As I type this I'm coming down off a wicked-bad anxiety / panic attack. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

Fix'd it.

I'm kinda' tech-savvy.

Yeah - I didn't think the results would be stellar because I've only used it for a nap and during the set-up at the Health Aid store.
