Do I need to get my cpap adjusted: I'm exhauted!

Hi, I've been on cpap for about 4 months and am finally adjusted to it to the point where I keep it on all night. Up until about 2 weeks ago, I woke up feeling refreshed and great. Since 2 weeks ago, I've been inexplicably exhausted, not just when I wake up but also all day. It's like I"m not using ...

How long will it take to adjust to cpap?

Hi, I'm a new user of cpap. I got it a little over a week ago and use the ramp feature to get used to having air blowing into my nose. I wear a mask that only goes over my nose. I am lucky if I can tolerate the mask for 2 hours a night. I've woken up each night with the mask in my hand (it does a lo...
