Ernie Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hi,I wanted to share my good news.I have been using the CPAP for 2 months now and I have had no syncope getting out of bed at night or in the morning since then. I had that symptoms for the past 18 years so this is a great improvement for me.Also, 2 weeks after starting my CPAP my tinnitus stopped. I had that symptoms for a few years and it was continuous for the last year.My sleep specialist is very satisfied with the result of the CPAP because he wasn't even sure that it would help with the sleep apnea.I forgot, with the CPAP I don't have sleep apnea. So, it means that the treatment works. My specialist just increased the pressure so I might get more improvements. Can't wait to see what I will gain next!Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Thanks everyone for sharing my joy.I have the new pressure now. When Iput the mask last night I had a bit of sinus pain. I was able to fall asleep and this morning when I woke up I felt so rested and happy. I went downstairs almost running. I think I slept even better with the new adjustment.I'll keep you posted on my progress.Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
