Question: If one's cpap (for sleep apnea) setting is too high, what symptoms will they notice?don't just say go to the doctor as he was wrong and I wore cpap for 3 years and they later found after years of my insisting the results from the sleep study were not right (as I only slept a half hour due to them testing me when I normally was awake (I havedelayed sleep phase syndrome and am up in daytime) and finally convincing them to repeat it when I normally slept) they found that for three years I was getting almost NO rem sleep or stage three or four restorative sleep and the setting was way too low and although I looked like I was sleeping had essentially no benefits from sleep and still had all symptoms of sleep apnea..so I don't trust them..even after they upped setting-- still no benefits I can detect except no morning headachesNow I have a new machine that can be set higher and want to know HOW can I tell if it is TOO high. The tecnicians said I'd have chest pains and not be able to sleep or fall asleep..anything else or more details on this is what I m seeking
Answer: At higher than optimal pressures, many things can occur. Such as, headaches, pain in the throat or sinuses, pain in the chest and lungs, aerophagia, bleeding ears, bleeding nose, and the irritation that comes from difficulty in exhaling comfortably.At lower than optimal pressures you may experience daytime sleepiness, wake up feeling unrefreshed, snoring, untreated apnea.hope you soon feel better!
