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. I guess I don't have the 'typical' symptoms, as I'm not overly tired during the day or falling asleep. However, for the past three ...

Re: Starting again - how am I doing?

Thanks for the reply. It probably took me at least 45 minutes to initially fall asleep. I got up for the bathroom a few times, and again it took me a little bit to fall back asleep again. I normally sleep on my side, but I tried sleeping on my back for a bit. Maybe I will bump it up to 6? Sometimes ...

Starting again - how am I doing?

I had a sleep study done back in June and got my Dreamstation about a month later. I tried it for a week but struggled with it. 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 ...
