Re: Do symptoms disappear right away?
Hi gam50 , If after countless tests, MRIs, and so on and 'they haven't found anything' and you still have 'dizziness, off-balance, weird brain fog', you may have hyper-ventilation syndrome. That combination of 'nothing to find' but those classic symptoms is very suggestive. Technically, HVS is a 'd...

Re: Do symptoms disappear right away?
Thanks everyone for the replies. I'll give it more time. I guess I had it in my head that it would be a quick cure.

Do symptoms disappear right away?
I see a lot of people feeling better right away with using CPAP. Tonight will be my 5th night with treatment. However, so far, I haven't felt the slightest improvement.

The most I could do was a few hours a night, and most of that was awake. So I gave up on it. After weeks of thinking about the damage I'm doing to myself, I'm going to try ...
