I've been on CPAP for a little over a year, and doing very well with it. Lately I've been having chest pains and after being checked out by my Doctor, EKG, x-rays, even a nuclear stress test, everything came back "in normal range".
What I'm wondering is, is there any possible way that CPAP could cause chest pains?

No not after a year unless it is an Auto suddenly going to much higher pressures for some reason.suebee3 wrote:I've been on CPAP for a little over a year, and doing very well with it.

Check GERD, acid reflux can cause it too. Also go see an good pulmonologist for breathing related issues.

Re: chest pain?
Ditto on the GERD evaluation and even other possible abdominal issues.
My mom was recently hospitalized initially with pretty classic heart attack related symptoms.
Turned out she had a sick gallbladder that made her pancreas sick and the "chest" pain was from the abdominal issues.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
Re: chest pain?
I used to wake up (in the morning) with a sore chest the first few months on CPAP (I'm at 7 months now). I think it was caused by cold air. I set mine for 80 degrees, and the soreness went away.
