Kind of new to my cpap!

Post by kai1211 » Sat Mar 29, 2014 9:28 pm

Hello, I am a 27 year old male from Texas named Benjamin. I got my cpap 10/02/2014 because of constructive sleep apnea. My doctor wanted me to have it because he said that my sleep apnea was making my hear fauilar wose. Most days I can ware the mask but on days when I can breath because of my heart I cannot use my cpap as it makes it harder for me to breath. Anyone have any suggestions?

Welcome to the forum.

When you have time could you please add your equipment to your profile like I have mine?
It helps us to help you better if we know what equipment your are using.

Not sure what mask your are using or what you might do to improve things.
Also not sure of what you mean about not being able to breathe because of your heart.
Is it a discomfort issue with the mask or nasal congestion or lung congestion or what?
More specifics will help us understand better and hopefully come up with some ideas.
