Dark circles from CPAP

I have been using CPAP for about 2 weeks and have noticed that the dark circles under my eyes are getting worse. I use the nasal pillows mask and have the dreamstation autopap, my range is 4-15. My AHI is low these days, anywhere from 1-4 and I feel pretty well rested. Wondering if the pressure from...

Newbie Struggling

Trying this again. My eqipment is the DreamStation Auto CPAP with humidifier and heated tube. I use the nasal pillows. My diagnosis was moderate sleep apnea even though my AHI was 14.7 at the sleep study. I only had hypoapeas and rarely an osa. I probably sleep 5 hours max with a cpap running. My sl...

But if this part of the process then I am...

CPAP causing central apnea

Hey guys I have discovered my cpap is causing me central apnea. It only happens when I begin to fall asleep, I feel myself stop breathing as I start to relax and drift off, even though I am not fully asleep, it's weird.
