I have a question maybe someone can help me with. I recently started a trial for a CPAP, and I am three weeks in. So far it is helping me sleep, but I am having trouble tolerating the chest pain it gives me. Is this normal? I talk to t he e respiratory consultant next week, but just curious.

I use a BiPAP and my wife uses a CPAP. I have never heard of them causing chest pain. Best to speak to your providers and discuss with them.Let us know the outcome.

Thx,

John

I have been using a CPAP for years, and never experienced chest pain with it.

Perhaps it is turned up too high? (Just guessing.). Good luck getting it worked out.

Not what you're looking for?
