First night CPAP

Post by eoram » Wed May 20, 2026 3:56 pm

I have a Resmed 11 and a Dreamwear Nasal Mask. My pressures are 5-12 and the RT who brought it set the EPR at 3 because exhalation was difficult. Last night I managed to sleep from 10:30 to 4 am, the mask did not bother me much and I did not wake up feeling suffocated or with any trouble breathing. I'm sure this is quite normal (well, checking to make sure it is), but I feel pretty lousy today, very tired and big headache all day. This is not unusual for a first night, is it?

It would be helpful if you got a free account at SleepHQ.com, uploaded your SD card there, and then posted the link they provide to this thread.
