Sleep apnea and daytime shortness of breath

Posted by noendinsight @noendinsight, Jul 6, 2024

Hello, I have posted this question on other discussion boards. Just wondering if there's anyone who has sleep apnea that may have experienced the following before treatment:
Mild sensation of shortness of breath during the day.

Feeling like your breathing muscles are fatigued or tired during the day

Feeling as if your lungs and/or lower airways are irritated or just have a strange sensation coming from them

Thanks for any info.

I've posted this in the sleep forum but wanted to expand my search. Before being treated for sleep apnea, has anyone experienced irritation in the lungs or airway that caused a mild shortness of breath throughout the day? Did it improve with CPAP? Thank you

@noendinsight I have this exact question. I have only been using for a few days but my shortness of breath during the day is noticeable. What is that? I don't know. I'm not sure if I should keep using it or not. Did you ever get an answer?

@apalmieri, I USE A C-PAP MYSELF. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN I STARTED USING IT AT FIRST. I TOOK IT BACK AND TOLD THEM ABOUT. AND THEY MADE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO IT. NO PROBLEM NOW.
BUT I JUST NOTICED THE PROBLEM AGAIN RECENTLY. BUT I THINK IT'S MORE FROM THE HUMIDITY FOR ME. TALK TO THEM WHERE YOU GOT IT FROM. BUT DON'T STOP USING IT. DANIEL
