Hello Mitchy65, I would contact your doctor and explain how you’re feeling. Get things checked out. Take care xxxx

Hi Mitchy65,

I can only 100% endorse what sassy59 has said. You shouldn't be experiencing pain directly from using a cpap machine, and I think you should have yourself checked urgently, especially as you say you are already diagnosed with pulmonary embolisms. I wouldn't wish to scare you, but these can definitely cause chest pain, and usually need urgent medical help when pain happens, so please don't ignore this and get some help as fast as you can, to at least eliminate this as a cause of your pain.

Very best wishes.
