Hello all,

I have been reading the postings on here and am not necessarily seeing what I am dealing with at the moment.

I have been on CPAP for about 5 years now. Very recently I have noticed that I am exhausted! I have not been waking up with the whole "gasping for air" episodes but, I have been tired all day and my eyes are killing me! They are sore, puffy, and red all day. This has been going on for that past week or so. I thought that maybe the mask was leaking in the night so I went to have it checked. There is not problem with the mask. When I wake up in the night (I always do) I basically just roll over and go back to sleep. I've been that way for as long as I can remember. This being exhausted thing is new however. All I can think is that the pressure is too high or something. I have lost weight recently but we're talking only five pounds here. Sorry that this is long-winded but I am rather tired and frustrated and I don't have a specialist who will contact me or even respond to my requests for an appointment (he is definitely off my Christmas card list!). I can't imagine the pressure is too low as I have not gained weight or had any new health changes... Any thoughts, guys??
