AIRPLANE EFFECT?

Post by MEGA » Fri Aug 21, 2009 1:33 pm

Has anyone felt headaches or a stuffy head (like when you're on an airplane) from utilizing the CPAP?

Yes! I was just posting about that under another topic. I don't really get headaches, but I do feel like I have a "stuffy" head, and sometimes experience painful pressure in my ears. A lot like being on a plane! I would LOVE to know what this is from and how to fix it!!

Are you talking about when actually using the machine? Or afterward, during the day?

this happens ALL day after the use of the machine. I stopped using the machine for a day a I noticed the difference. I'm still waiting formy ears to pop!

I noticed the effect while using the machine and yawning, but it went away for me during the day.
