Well here I go again: Tooka trip of about 150 miles, thoufgt I was going to pass out, rythum of the road affected my driving? Finall ygot home. What does this mean? Next, since I have had this breathing problem, my CPAP) water has changed. Prior to the problem, the water resavoir woul use less than 1/2 the water. Now, I have to refill it about 3AM each day. Uses 1 & 1/4 of the resovior. Whats up with that?

@boredsilly- I have been using a C-pap for over 15yrs. and my guess is that you may of changed the adjustment for adding more moisture w/o knowing? I've done this before. I adjust mine based on the climate I'm in. When I'm at the coast I cut way back or I will get moisture in the hose and when I am in the desert I go the other way to add moisture for the dry air. I can always tell if the adjustments are right the next morning based on how my throat is feeling. Hope that helps!

I would definitely ask the company that helps you with the CPAP machine. I have only minor breathing problems but severe sleep apnea. I use hardly any water, although it's useless to say how much because there are different machines with different "reservoirs."
