Re: Please help - is CPAP causing night panic attacks?
Yes thats what I thought that CPAP relieves anxiety. My Doctor is aware of this and is one of the reasons he refered me to a sleep doctor as it was something that I seemed to wake up with My Sleep Doc doesnt have a secretary he uses an answerphone which he checks between 4 and 5 pm on a Thursday. My...

Re: Please help - is CPAP causing night panic attacks?
No I didnt have a prescribed pressure. I only had a home oximeter test which showed fifteen events an hour. I was given a machine (set on factory defaults), a mask (no choice of size or anything) and sent on my way. A 5 minute review 4 months later when I was told to increase the max pressure AHI wa...

Re: 6 months in and still feel rough
Thanks Julie. I just thought I would start using my machine and all my problems would just magically disappear!! I had a fifteen minute explanation and demonstration and that was all - they basically said get a low AHI and everything will be good. From reading on here I now understand Flow limitatio...

Re: 6 months in and still feel rough
I wasnt given a choice of masks - they only had that one and only in a medium size. I have bought myself a F & P one in a large but still seem to get leaks. I had a grand total of five minutes of being shown how to put it on while sat in a chair. I have asked to go back and have my data looked at an...

Newbie could do with some advice
Hi I am newly diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea. I have been using an F & P Icon + Apap machine and a Quattro FFM. For the first two weeks of use I felt absolutely brilliant - this time last week I was on top of a mountain skiing on my own. I came back with a cold and this week feel like my world ...
