CPAP usage

Post by Challenge » Tue May 21, 2024 5:16 pm

Hi,

I'm 4 weeks into my CPAP, ASI 15, was a challenge first week but then I started feeling great in morning. Took a long time to get to sleep, and still wake up some yet much better. My concern now is last 3 days I've felt not great at all, somewhat congested and just ugh, also dizzy. Is this normal to go back and forth like this? I know it is surely helping so much, and I definitely have more energy so I want to push thru this! Thanks for any thoughts.

First of all, you might have a cold or flu. This will pass.

Also, you might have a sinus infection. In that case you will need an anti-biotic, and you'll need to clean your machine more diligently.

Also, you might need an adjustment to your pressure.
