Seizures while sleeping with a CPAP machine

I have focal seizures and the doctor diagnosed me with sleep apnea. Every since I been using the cpap machine with the mask, I noticed that my seizures in the morning are increasing. This is very confusing.

Hello @emat16, Welcome to Connect. I would be frustrated and confused also if the treatment for my sleep apnea made my symptoms worse. Have you discussed the increase of the focal seizures in the morning with your doctor to see if there may be some adjustments needed for the CPAP machine?
