Re: Avoiding going to bed, panicky and fearful

Hi, You can try wearing the mask before you go to bed. Are you at home during the day? Try wearing the mask when you are up to adjust to it. Ease into it, try some relaxation exercises, deep breathing. What scares you about the mask? If you are mouth breathing you need to get a chinstrap, you are lo...

Re: Sinus infection & Cpap......

Thank you both so much. I will check out the neti pot tomorrow.
Black, I actually am using the Quattro FX now, that is what I used
last night. The mask area is covered, I still try to breath thru my
nose since nasal mask usage. I am probably gonna do the recliner
tonight.

Sinus infection & Cpap......

Hi, I have a sinus infection diagnosed today. Head feels like a huge inflated ball about to bust. I tried cpap last night and woke up in pain. Dr at Urgent Care left it to me to use cpap or not. He said some people can tolerate it and some can't. This is a first for me! Never had sinus infection bef...

Re: HELP!!! - Tap water or no water?

How long are you out of town for? Tap water is fine, just clean your humidifier when you return home.
I also just bought bottled drinking water when I was at the beach.
Rest Well

Thank you Ug. I get it now! I tried the regular Ace last night, that was all I had. I am off tomorrow to buy the sticky kind. I am hoping it works for me because I am tired of covering my head. I love my papcap, but a break would be great. It did great for most of the night, but I did wakeup once wi...

Re: Lowered my pressure...HELP!!

Thank you Mary. I am the Queen of worry. I have calmed down now. I am a stickler for following Dr. advice, I attribute that to my Panic Disorder. ( lucky me! NOT! ) I know I was very nervous about changing pressure, so I also know that contributed to my anxiety last night. Just not so sure about the...

Re: Lowered my pressure...HELP!!

Thank you Oz. In reality I know this, but in my anxious mind all kinds of scenarios go by. I hate panic disorder!
I am working on trying to relax.
Thank you again.

Re: Lowered my pressure...HELP!!

Pressure will be going back up for me. I woke up panicky this morning, I woke up thru the night, just enough to know I awake. I was nervous about dropping pressure to begin with, so this may have contributed to anxiety. Had leg cramps all night. Now I am a mess this morning! Scared that I have hurt ...
