You could try taking some night quil to help you sleep do it several nights in a row to get use to the CPAP unit. Do you have a heated humidifer? That May help also. Other than that call you primary doctor.

i"ve had slepp apnea for years and have never been able to wear the cpap. Ive tried everything...differant masks, sleeping in the recliner, lower pressure, higher pressure... I recently got a full face mask and it seemed to be easier to tolerate. I am very claustrophobic, but I talk myself through it and usually am able to fall asleep with it on. However the minute I fall asleep i either wake up ion a panic like Im suffacating or I take it off without ever knowing it. What can I do to keep this thing on? I have to get used to it. Any suggestions? Mary B

wow thanks for sharing those. I was very recently given the cpap, don't even know my diagnosis yet, but am sleeping like a rock with the machine. I hope it helps me lose weight too!!

Is there another sleep center you can try for another opinion on your settings? that must be really rough being that tired all day. If they act like they get tired of you maybe they will refer you to another sleep clinic or respiratory specialist. just an idea...

I've had my cpap machine for less than a week now. I'm not burping and farting any more than usual, but I don't think I'm swallowing air. I love my machine too. I hope they call you about this matter!!
