Hi @usmccam
I have read some of you replies and questions. I first want to say THANK YOU for your service.

I to use BiPap & CPAP. Based on my experience I absolutely hated it when I started using the machines. I would rip that mask off gaging and choking and gasping for air. My doctors changed my settings to a range so the pressure would auto adjust to my needs. As we awake our need for assistive breathtaking is less and s my doctor explained to me that’s when we struggle with the pressure. I have no issues with it now. I have developed some shortness of breath when I lay on my left side so I will often put the machine on while I’m awake reading to help alleviate those symptoms. Has your doctor talked about adjusting the pressure on your machine?

Thanks
Dawn
