weight loss and CPAP


Posted by kennyv on July 26, 2000 at 10:46:10:

I have been on CPAP for about 4 months now. I have taken to it very well and felt better than I have in years. My problem is that I have felt so energetic that I have lost 30 pounds so far and now I keep waking up with a really dry mouth. Could my settings be too high now just from the 30 pounds? If it is, is there a quick way I could turn my Respironic down a notch just to see if it improves things? I just dont want to start loosing valuable speep again.
