Re: CPAP Anxiety clausterophobia etc

Often the initial pressure is set low to help you get used to it, but the problem is after a day or two it can make you feel like you are suffocating. Same with the ramp because ra...

Re: CPAP Anxiety clausterophobia etc

Been there. I understand completely. One thing I experienced was a choking feeling. That I figured out was because the pressure of the air in my throat was mis-interpreted by my brain as a lack of air. That caused me a very high level of anxiety.
