My wife told me last night that she was about to kick me out to the couch because I was snoring. She's mentioned it before, and she tells me that I'm not gasping for breath like I did before the CPAP, I'm just plain old snoring. My pressure's pretty high, I think it's at 17, is it possible that it's...

So it's still okay to snore, even while on CPAP? I mean, my wife said it sounded like what I used to do before the CPAP, which is the whole "gasping for air" thing. I didn't think that sounded too good.

I looked at the mask user guide, and it said that "flu-like" symptoms are a side effect of the mask. Also, I read that CPAP can ...

I just started therapy, and my pressure level is 17. I have had intermittent problems with the mask leaking, I'm assuming it's because the pressure is somewhat high? My main problem seems to be falling asleep with the thing (that makes me feel like the guy in Aliens who has the monster attack his fa...
