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

Last nights results. Still lots of Flow Limitations and feel really tired and cannot stop yawning.

The FL's seem to appear to be roughly the same whatever the pressure

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 ...
