hyperventilation

Posted by cijit on April 11, 2006 at 19:52:14:
I have been having what I thought were anxiety attacks during the day but my partner says I go to sleep breathing normally and revert to short shallow exhales during the night. I awake feeling tense ,unrested but not sleepy .I have tried using full pressure (13) before I go to sleep to get into the habit of breathing against full pressure .
Bipap maybe an alternative but I do not have insurance to cover purchasing one .
Any suggestions ? Could my pressure be to high , I have lost 15 lbs .
