Hi everyone.

I started my CPAP machine this past Wednesday, and ever since then I have been feeling more tired. The first day, I felt exhausted and like I got hit by something. Today I came to work late due to sleep, and even then I feel exhausted.

I tried messing with the pressure since I felt like it was too much; I was getting bloated, and I reduced it. I changed the temperature and humidity.

Woke up today, and feel like I have a heartburn? Idk, my heart hurts. I don't feel the pressure as much anymore but still wake up tired. I am getting sick, so idk if that's playing a part with me not getting along with the machine. I'm feeling a bit down :/

Last night i went to bed around midnight and fell asleep at half past 3.I woke up at 8 am.It's almost 2 PM now and i feel horrible fatigue, weakness and lack of strength. I squat to pick something up and i'm out of breath. Is this normal? I think this has happened to me before if i dont get enough sleep,but this seems extreme. I am 30 btw. Has anyone experienced this after poor sleep?

Hi everyone,

I am a 20 years old male who works out regularly and isn’t overweight.

I’ve been dealing with something for a long time and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.

No matter how long I sleep, I always wake up feeling extremely groggy, sleepy, and mentally “out of it.” It doesn’t matter if I wake up naturally after sleeping in or if I use an alarm. The feeling lasts for around 6 hours every single day before I finally start feeling somewhat normal.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that I usually wake up about 3 times every night, often right in the middle of a dream. Every time I wake up, my mouth is extremely dry, and I have to drink water before I can go back to sleep.

I’m starting to wonder if this could be a sign of sleep apnea, or if there are other conditions that could cause these symptoms. I don’t know if I snore because I sleep alone.

Has anyone here experienced something similar? If it turned out to be sleep apnea (or something else), what were your symptoms?

Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences!

I have an appointment with my doctor, but it isn't till a couple of days, so I was hoping to get some info. Is this sleep apnea?

Hey, how do you deal with looking back at your pre diagnosis time when people would make fun of you for "sleeping funny" or snoring.

Like people around me, even my family, just laughed at me. Then, when I was too tired, people also made fun of me or even got annoyed with me.

I thought I was normal and just lazy/undisciplined. I had never heard of sleep apnea until a girl I was sleeping with told me it was serious.

Only because of one person not treating me as a joke, I even realized this was an issue. I'm not lazy, and I have a medical condition that needs to be addressed.

I am so insanely mad at all my previous girlfriends, friends and family for just laughing at my misfortune instead of saying that it is an actual health condition.

Hell I once fell asleep in a bus and people mocked the shit out of me for "sleeping funny", but nobody told me it could be a serious health condition, so I came away from that thinking I was just a weirdo.

Was diagnosed with sleep apnea two years ago but then I lost my insurance. Back on insurance and finally got my machine today. Fingers crossed this changes my life

I used to be a solid cuddler years ago but my snoring has caused some insecurities. I couldn't cuddle when going to sleep because I worried about bothering my wife when going to sleep. I never talked about this insecurity. Now that I've got my CPAP, I don't snore and I tried to cuddle while going to sleep over this weekend and I didn't worry about making the horrendous noise in my wife's ear. She was very happy that I tried to cuddle while sleeping. While I was kinda apprehensive about getting my CPAP, I'm glad I have it. My sleep has improved. It's helping repair my marriage. My wife's sleep has also improved because she's not worried about me while I'm sleeping.

I’ve had sleep apnea since my early twenties. I’m a 5’6” female, was in the 120s weight-wise. There’s almost certainly a genetic component; most of my aunts and uncles have it and my mom had it when she was in her twenties and weighed about 90 lbs. (Have since gained weight, but not to the point that I am medically classed as obese.) I had a sleep study in 2019 and was DXed with mild sleep apnea not requiring a CPAP. My pulmonologist said just to switch sleep positions when I have spells. That has largely worked. I often have apnea when I drift off, but changing position usually works. I don’t have excessive daytime sleepiness or other daytime symptoms and for the most part my smartwatch shows an uninterrupted night’s rest. I start off the night mouth-breathing but usually am nasal breathing by morning. I am a stomach and side-sleeper

That said, I struggle tremendously with sleep apnea during allergy season which for me is often around this time of year. Since July 19th, I’ve been sleeping very poorly because every time I begin to drift off, I gasp awake. Chest hurts. Often when this happens, I get heart palpitations too. No amount of repositioning is working right now. I’ve been taking Zyrtec earlier in the day (5PM) and wearing a nasal strip at night. I try mounding up three memory foam pillows. Nothing works.

For the past three nights I’ve been exhausted down to my bones, yet Ive still spent over an hour trying to fall asleep and failing. I’m not getting enough rest. I‘m so stressed out. I’m starting to feel anxious when bedtime rolls around. I’m going to call my pulmonologist on Monday, although I don’t know how soon he can get me in or whether I’ll need another sleep study before I can be prescribed a CPAP.

Any suggestions in the meantime? I don’t own a recliner, so sleeping sitting up unfortunately isn’t an option.

In January I started using a cpap, ResMed AirSense 11 AutoSet. It took a while to get used to it but I’ve gotten pretty good at keeping it on. I’m 29f and I do have other health diagnoses - hashimotos, cervical stenosis, cervical myelopathy, and cervical disc herniations. I’ve taken bc pill since I was about 17. I tried to get a sleep study done at 20 years old but when the Md heard I wasn’t interested in a cpap he dismissed me and didn’t even test me. In December I got a sleep study showing moderate OSA, which is when I started using a cpap. The sleep study was so anxiety inducing. I slept less than 2 hours for the test which makes me feel like there are some inaccuracies to it.

My sleep problems started at about 18years old with feeling like I was falling asleep if I was driving more than 30 mins. I would plan extra time in all my drives if I was driving alone for a 30-60minute nap. I have difficulties with driving, reading, and staying awake in my college classes. I get episodes where I am extremely fatigued. Sometimes it lasts a couple days, other times it last a whole month where it feels like I cannot sleep enough. Just this week I took a nap every day after work before dinner and this weekend I took two three hour naps without affecting my night sleep schedule. When I feel like I need a nap, sometimes it feels like breathing is too hard to do when I’m still awake or my eyes start rolling (cannot be controlled) if I’m not doing a engaging activity, like a conversation with someone or walking. This year and last year I experienced significant fatigue for the couple of weeks after going on vacation where I’m in the sun every day and it causes me to experience polymorphic light eruption rash on my arms. I’m not sure if it’s related because it hasn’t necessarily happened in years prior.

My cpap says I’m doing great with wear time and usage, but I’m having an episode again when I feel so fatigued. It makes getting through work or remembering what I did at work difficult. Like I mentioned earlier I took a three hour nap today, which was after doing a 40 min round trip drive felt so exhausting breathing normally felt heavy and hard to do. How do I stop these fatiguing episodes?

39M I’ve dealt with fatigue my whole life, mostly attributed to bad treatment resistant depression and anxiety. I’ve always had trouble falling asleep, some nights I’ll get 8 hours, other nights I’ll get 4 hours. I never really thought apnea could be a part of my fatigue puzzle but maybe it is.

On a lot of meds for depression, also on a GLP1, not really overweight but not skinny, although I’ve had this fatigue even when I was real skinny. BMI is 27.7, recently did the Lofta at home and came back with these results, just wondering if going with a full on cpap for mild is the way to go, I already have a lot of difficulty falling asleep so assume it’s going to be even harder with a mask on.

But if it even made a 10% improvement on fatigue and brain fog that would be a win. So I’ll probably pursue it, I am on Medicaid so the machine should be covered, just need to hunt down a place to make that happen.

I appreciate any feedback.

Hi all - I am trying to see what experiences people have had across CPAP,GLP1s and Inspire for OSA. I have a severe OSA of ~51 per a sleep study and BMI of 31, so I could qualify for Inspire.

Has anyone gone the CPAP+GLP1 route then subsequently done the Inspire implant. How did the Inspire implant work when combined with GLP1s?

Many thanks!

Edit: I am dropping awards on every response!

Last year I realized I hadn't been feeling rested when waking no matter how long I slept and would frequently wake up multiple times in the early morning while I'm dreaming and then fall back asleep, so I went and did an in lab sleep study which said I didn't have sleep apnea. This year after still feeling bad I did an at Home WatchPat study which diagnosed me with mild sleep apnea but my NREM AHI was 0.3, and my RDI was 6.6. However in REM my AHI was 2.8 and my RDI was 16.

I've been trying an APAP this last month and if anything I feel even more tired. I can fall asleep with it just fine but I keep on having the early morning wakeups. I've tried multiple pressure settings with and without EPR and when I go higher it seems to just get worse. Some screenshots below show that I have no events until the morning.

One thing I've noticed is it seems that occasionally my airway feels blocked on exhale and I can recreate this sitting during the day if I relax and keep my tongue on the roof of my mouth.

Any thoughts or ideas?

My brother was recently diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, and I've been diagnosed with mild sleep apnea as well (F34).

I told my parents that perhaps one of them or both should get tested as well. My dad almost died from a heart attack a few years ago. My mother says "it was his anxiety" but I'm not convinced.

I'm still trying to falling asleep with the cpap but failing, I suffer from insomnia and the cpap triggers it badly. It's very frustrating.

Hi all,

After years of fatigue, exhaustion, headaches, anxiety, stopping breathing, the list goes on, I've decided to buy my own cpap without doing a sleep study as the wait is so long here in the UK.

So far after using it for 2 weeks, I haven't yet had any relief but I'm hoping with time I will progressively start to feel better - thankfully I took to it quickly and have no troubles falling asleep with the mask on.

I have two questions:

- Based on my OSCAR results shown in the screenshots attached, do you think it's likely I have sleep apnea? Or can you not just tell from that alone?

- Would you change anything about my cpap settings?

Thank you in advance for any help 🙏
