Newbie Experience: Tingling in Thighs

Post by doctor 18F » Sun Oct 12, 2008 6:25 pm

Has anyone experienced a tingling sensation in their thighs (front and outer part of thighs) as a result of BPAP/CPAP?
Maybe just a coincidence, but after a few weeks of using my BPAP, I started to get a slight tingling sensation in the thighs during the day and also at night (actually woke me up twice). I notice that with the BPAP I seem to sleep completely motionless, waking up with arms and legs exactly where they were when I laid down for sleep, and wondered if this tingling is due to being motionless for so long. Again, maybe just coincidence as I have recently lost 35 pounds via dieting and started bicycling a lot.

Sounds to me like the combination of being more motionlessness and weight loss are allowing you to put pressure on the nerves in your thighs/rear. I get it, too.
