Re: The Headaches
I've never been as disappointed in anything as I am my CPAP. I knew there might be an adjustment period. But I wasn't expecting to feel so much worse with it than I did before. I think I want to go to a different doctor . . . You really need to see a sinusologist. If you have chronic sinus issues t...

Re: The Headaches
I think perhaps you are anxious when you use the machine, which then causes the headache. Is that possible? I have experienced intense morning headaches for many years... in the two months I've been using CPAP, I'm getting less and less headaches. Getting this checked out is a good idea. I usually ...

Re: The Headaches
I definitely have sinus problems. I've had them for years. I wasn't asked about sinus problems when I went to the sleep dr. I was just told I would have apnea and it would probably take two night of studies to prove it. I'm starting to really wonder about my doctor, my results and everything.

The Headaches
What did you do about the headaches when you started? I'm still getting a migraine when I try to use my machine. Every time. The pain is so intense I can't keep food down. And I've not been using the machine every night because of it. The dizziness I can get used to, but the pain is overwhelming.

Re: Camping/Is it safe to go a few days withiut using the CPAP M
This is a stupid, off-topic question- but if you can't keep food in the car or the tent, where are you supposed to keep it? I'm new to the whole camping thing and wouldn't keeping it outside still invite the bears near? I would want the bears far away.

Re: I May be Cured, Find Out How (True Story)
I can't help but wonder about the doctor who initially diagnosed your OSA. Shouldn't any initial work-up for OSA include a look in your throat? My sleep doctor did a full airway exam at my first appointment with her, even though she did not at all suspect OSA. If your tonsils were that big, any hal...

Still have the extreme dizziness
It's been a week now and I'm still having the extreme dizziness. It's all day long. My nose is so stuffy at night I keep waking up. My nose is fine during the day. The dark circles under my eyes now look like someone has punched me. And the two times I've had dreams this week, they were nightmares. ...

Re: Very New and Questions
I looked at my equipment. There are large stickers which cover areas. The only thing it says is Panasonic. It is sort of black and has a water reservoir. (I know not helpful, but I have looked on 6 sides of the thing and there are no identifying words on there. Nothing that says resimed, APAP, CPAP)...
