Cpap issues

Post by Tanya » Tue Oct 17, 2017 2:05 am

I've been using my cpap machine for 6 days and I'm having a hard time. After ten minutes of rest using it, I have a ton of energy . What's up with that!?

Well, that's interesting. All I can do is venture a guess or two. First of all, are you using the ramp feature? What machine are you using and what is your pressure setting? If your pressure is not adequate, a sense of alertness could happen if your brain senses trouble breathing. If you fall asleep and have an apnea event, the stress hormones that accompany the experience could feel like energy I suppose. Am I interpreting the situation correctly that you are having trouble sleeping due to the burst of energy?
