Hi Stu

Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you will find it very helpful.  I'm new to treatment too, although I've suspected I had sleep apnoea for some years I am only recently been diagnosed.  I was given a machine on trial for a week and half way through that first week I had lots of strange symptoms, including panic attacks, a numb top lip and palpitations.  My problem was that I was trying to match my breathing to the machine instead of letting the machine match mine.  This caused me to hyperventilate and the palpitations followed.  Easier said than done I know but try to relax, you might not even realise you are being anxious.  It's strange having to go to sleep with a mask on plus all the trimmings at first but I was lucky and adapted quickly to treatment once I picked up my own machine.  Now, I don't know what I'd do without it... good luck and I promise you it will get better soon.  Joanne

For Sale - Ventura Full Total Face CPAP Mask

I’m selling an Ventura Full Total Face CPAP Mask Large and two spare liners.  I bought it new from the Hope2Sleep shop, but it is not suitable for me.  Only used for about two weeks so I have washed it thoroughly.   Because of this, it is very much…See More
