Hi Lisa,
I want to know if the louder sound when you breathe in that is keeping me awake (it is coming from the machine) is normal for all CPAP machines and I want to try another mask. They have started me on a ramp of 4 for 45 minutes to fall asleep but I feel like I am suffocating and am wondering if it is because the mask they gave me is wrong for my nostrils or 4 is too low for me. After the 45 minutes pass, I am so hyper-vigilant and uptight, sleep will not come and everything becomes more problematic than it probably is.
