Re: Panic Attacks and claustraphobia

Re: Panic Attacks and claustraphobia

When i started CPAP therapy i could only wear it like 2 minutes a night. I have severe claustrophobia. It was so bad the dr had to prescribe me Xanax to take at night, to be able to acclimate to it.

Re: CPAP Machine not working correctly, but not completely broken?

Thank you so much yes I do use a full face CPAP MASK I have claustrophobia and you would think a little mask is better but for some reason I started with the full face mask and once I got used to it, I stuck with it

CPAP Machine not working correctly, but not completely broken?
