Groggy

Post by Chatterbox » Thu Nov 06, 2008 6:42 am

After having used my machine for 2 years, I am now feeling groggy with a head full of fog when I awake. Any ideas why? Could it be a malfunction? I also notice that the water evaporates almost every night.

I'ld say the machine is most probably no longer doing what it should be doing - supplying enough pressure to keep you breathing properly all night long.

Could be you need more pressure after 2 years
Could be something broke in the machine.

I'd have the machine's pressure checked with a manometer; I'd ask the doc to prescribe an oxymeter for a night or two, to see what my oxygen level is.
