4 weeks and not good

Posted by tubular on April 23, 2003 at 18:37:59:

Hi, folks, I've been trying to sleep with bi-pap pressure 9 for almost four weeks now and haven't slept with it for more than about two hours. I wake up feeling I'm not breathing or can't inhale exhale properly and usually half or unconsciously take off the mask. Once I woke up and was still wearing it but it was off! Guess I hit the off button in my sleep! Is this an unusually long time to be struggling to get used to a machine on such a low pressure? Will I ever? I'm frustrated...(see my earlier post, "help" below for more info.)Thanks
