Re: Please help! Panic when putting mask on, can't sleep!

Thanks again. Sounds like I should just go back to the old mask for now and/or talk to my DME about getting a new one like you mentioned. I will find out how to increase the pressure. I need to talk myself down. This anxiety reaction I am having is ridiculous. Its just air!!! I am not sure how to br...

Re: Please help! Panic when putting mask on, can't sleep!

Thanks for all of the information. I have been reading multiple success stories on the board and am encouraged that most people get through this. Thank you for the information on where to get the manual. I've emailed them for this. That makes sense that I may need more pressure to start. I will play...

My old mask was a swift Fx nano, but i thought that was too claustrophobic for me and am now trying the Dreamwear nasal mask. The auto machine they gave me is a Fisher and Paykel Icon Novo auto. Thank you for the su...

Re: Please help! Panic when putting mask on, can't sleep!

She said that because it was auto titrating it started at 4- my pressure in the past was 9. The respiratory therapist said not to worry because it would automatically know what I needed?

Please help! Panic when putting mask on, can't sleep!

Hi everyone, I know this has been covered some on here but I really need help. I stopped using CPAP for 3-4 months after faithfully using it for two years. I saw the doctor and got a new mask and an auto titration unit to get back on track. I started last night. I am using a DreamWear Nasal CPAP Mas...

Re: Getting back in to CPAP therapy

I will have the auto titration machine for two weeks. The main problem I was having was feeling claustrophobic and anxious with the mask on my face, but I have read that that can be helped by wearing the mask during the day and trying to get used to it or desentizied to it. I also would get frustrat...

I saw my sleep doctor and the plan is to get a new mask, do an auto titration and try to get back on track. I haven't worn CPAP in awhile and feel anxious about using it again. FOr awhile I was having troub...

Long time user now can't fall asleep with CPAP

Hi everyone, I am diagnosed with mild OSA and have used CPAP for about three years. I have always done well with it. I had little to no trouble adjusting to it and have used it ever since. I experienced a period of time where I had difficulty using the mask about 1.5 years ago that lasted about a mo...
