Regarding your driving question, before I started CPAP I would have lots of trouble staying awake while driving. It was all I could do to keep from falling asleep while driving home. Since starting CPAP, I haven't had any problems anything like what I had before. I have driven sometimes ten hours without being drowsy at all. So, be careful, but if you are getting effective treatment you shouldn't have any trouble. Have a good trip!!

See your doctor!!! This forum is a great place to get advice around a machine and mask fitting, but when you have serious symptoms go see your doctor. People here shouldn't be giving advice like this unless they happen to be a doctor and you happen to be a patient.

Side Effects?

I really appreciate your advices, I know is our responsability to take an advice, so we have to be careful, unfortunately doctors are not available for us whenever we need them, they don't answer the phone, if you want an appointment it takes you 2 or 3 weeks, so by the time you forget what you need him for, LOL, but overhere you can find a lot of helpful advices so we just need to be responsable about them. Thanks again...
