 I've had very little trouble adjusting to the mask or the pressure (0.08 I think). My AHI is 1.4 with the machine. I started wearing a chin strap a few nights ago because I was mouth breathing and losing the effects of the CPAP. When I was mouth breathing I wasn't getting the nightmares, or at least not as bad. Right now it's a trade off. I sleep longer with the machine on, but sleep more peacefully with out it. The nightmares are not about suffocating.
I'd strongly suggest wearing the mask AND strap during the day when you're not sleeping, just to get used to the feel of it.

It IS unusual, and could easily cause a reaction in your brain until it becomes more commonplace for you.
if you'd READ the date, you'll see he hasn't been here since 2010.

Wilting Rose, what happened to you?
Two posts, nine years ago--then nothing.
We left the light on until it burnt out. :shock:

You can see at about 2:13 am
Please start a new thread of your own for answers. It's no good hijacking another thread, especially a very old one.

Keep all your posts in the new thread, so people trying to help you can easily see your history.

Thanks!
