Hello All,
Im on my fourth week on the cpap and am having pain im my lungs. It started feeling pain 6 days ago after about 5 hours on the machine.The pain is in both my lungs. When I take my equipment off the pain goes away in 5 to 10 minutes.. My doctor recommended a pressure of 16. I set my Apap between 15 and 17. I have changed nothing since the beginning and..... I do not feel sick-any ideas ??? I have to take the full face mask off in the middle of the night just to get back to sleep. HELP

Have you called your doctor to ask him about that? I wouldn't mess around with that, just call and ask to talk to him or his nurse. I don't think it'd have anything to do with the pressure being too high, mine is 18.5 and I havn't had any lung pain.  Sorry I can't be more help!

Hi! I was just wondering if you found out what was causing your pain? Did you see you're doctor? Hope your feeling better!!
