CPAP & Migraine- update

I just wanted to give an update. I though this would be a very easy process and it has not been. The main issue is I am waking up with pounding headaches often. I have never felt this type of headache so I know it is related to using the CPAP. They were going to have me try a front mask, but those have plugs that go into your nose. I can barely tolerate the over the head mask.

The pounding headache are 3-4 x a week.

I am also not keeping the mask on more than 4-5 hours.

I was hoping other people who are having success could give me hints about how to better use the machine.

Thanks everyone!
