My C-Flex was set at 3 so I changed it to 1. I couldn't fall asleep and after about 30 minutes, my heart was pounding and my chest hurt so I turned off the machine completely. I don't know what else to try.

Hyperventilating on C-Flex

I got my Dr. to change the setting to 6 but still couldn't sleep with it. My neighbor let me try his Remstar C-Flex for a couple minutes and it seemed li...
