Why do I sweat so much now ?

Post by BlizzardUK » Wed Oct 21, 2015 12:19 pm

I never used to sweat when sleeping when I had apnea of 40+ AHI, now that I get under 2 AHI and use CPAP I wake up and my sheets are really sweat ridden, as are my pillows, and often the sheets are pulled off the mattress, thankfully I sleep alone, wouldn't be nice for a partner. What can be causing this change ?

Have you seen a doctor? Not everything is about Cpap. However, if you also recently started to use a down comforter it could also be responsible... some of them are awful that way!

They call them "biscuits" over there.

No wonder they eat then dry, no butter, no gravy, nothing. So what's a baking powder type biscuit called?
