I am wondering if anyone else using CPAP has noticed a change in their apnea (as in worse!) immediately before getting one's period? I am perimenopausal, and everything seems to change depending on my hormones--I start snoring, the pressure seems to low, I start having a return of apnea symptoms. This all occurs around my periods. The rest of the time things are much more stable. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this, or if there could be a connection.
