Help!

Posted by AmyM on October 18, 2001 at 19:03:31:

Has anyone experienced this, or does anyone have any insight for me or suggestions? I used my Autoset T (which I love) for several days before the nasal congestion turned into a sinus infection. (I'm on amoxycillin now). I'm off cpap for a couple of days while the infection clears up.

WhatI find is that, using the cpap--even though I sleep through the night and don't take off the mask--I am very sleepy the next day and fall asleep all day.

Now that I'm not using it, I am much more awake (though still groggy) and more alert.

I talked to the sleep lab and asked for oxygen, but I'm not sure that would help. The doc hasn't gotten back to me yet.

Any suggestions or comments would really be appreciated.
