Re: I'm a little scared right now
Wow, thanks. There's a bunch of stuff here that I'm not familiar with, being new to CPAP usage, but I'll look it up and report. I talked to a nurse. She said that as long as I'm not feeling dizzy and my pulse isn't rapid or irregular, then I'm probably okay. Anxiety has probably just kicked in, maki...

Re: I'm a little scared right now
I downloaded the Sleepyhead software which was mentioned. It said that last night I had some major leakage and that the thing "blasted" me, as it put it, with 9.0 pressure all night. When I woke up, I noticed that I was opening my mouth and gasping a little as the air just kept going down my throat....

Re: I'm a little scared right now
Yeah, I think I'll definitely at least go to the walk-in clinic to get my vitals checked. I do have high blood pressure and probably asthma. I'm feeling fine now, but I noticed that when I talked to my parents about what happened, I was getting a little out-of-breath. But just sitting here typing, I...

I guess I just wanted to know if this was a normal thing with CPAP use. Now I'm definitely feeling anxiety. I can tell the difference. Maybe I'll at least go to the walk-in clinic and see what they think. If they say I should go to the ER, then I'll go. This sucks, as it's the first day of a week-lo...

Re: I'm a little scared right now
Well now I'm more scared. I'm okay now, but that was scary. My diaphragm just kept contracting. I have had panic attacks, but it was 25 years ago. It says that I have asthma in my baby book, but then it was never mentioned again. I'm 56 and I'm not on any medication for it. I did have one asthma att...

Hi. I'm new to the CPAP world. Not happy about it. But I've been persevering for about a month now.
