Tired & Headache Lately

Post by tornadoknight » Tue Oct 15, 2013 12:53 pm

Heya CPAPTalk Friends,

Does anyone have any advice for me what might be giving me problems? Iv'e been using my CPAP for a couple years now. Yesterday & today I have woken up with a sinus headache that fluxuates in intensity most of the day. Also sensitivity to bright light, sound & feeling pretty tired. (I'm also having trouble with my depression coming back. Not sure if thats related though.) I'm going to wash my CPAP equipment and see if that helps. I generally try and clean the mask daily & the tubes every month or so. But this is a first that iv'e had this much trouble.

I took the day off of work yesterday because I felt so cruddy. (My wife chewed my butt out off & on all day because of it.)

Any ideas or suggestions what could be the cause or what to do about it? Help. (Just want to sleep......)


Thanks in advance,
Matt

Maybe NOT a sinus headache; the light sensitivity makes me think migraine.
DH has them and his mother did, but not I (knock on wood)
Others may see this, when it hits the top.

I gave the whole CPAP system a good washing last night and (so far) i'm feeling a bit better this morning. {Fingers crossed}
