cpap joint pain

Chronic headaches, eye pain, stabbing sensations, ankles and feet hurt, muscle and joint pain that moves around, sensativaties to light, sound, smell? "brain fog", vertigo, fatigue, sometimes feel like you are going to throw up? Sore throat, heart "skips" occasionally, chest pain, and do you have some "good" days and some "bad" days and does it seem cyclical? .

If i work more than 8 hour or up for 8 hour , my leg starts hurting along with joint pain and nervousness and back pain. forgot I have high blood pressure now. what do i do. help please.

ve lived my life in a state of exhaustion, until use of my cpap machine, and that has often caused very bad seizures. Without my cpap machine, I don't think I'd be here making this post.

It is great that you have been using your CPAP “faithfully”, but it would be wise to seek reevaluation, probably to include a sleep study, of the effectiveness of the CPAP; i.e., is the CPAP actually preventing nocturnal hypoxemia, especially in a sustained fashion?

If I skip a night the soreness is gone the next morning. The past couple nights by three AM the soreness/pain is bothering me enough that I put the CPAP aside for the rest of the night. What I would like to know whether this is normal adn whether it will disappear with time or should I be concerned about it and cease using the CPCP. I spoke with the folks at the store where I got the machine and they say that they have not heard of issues like this.

I have severe asthma AND VCD. I was recently started on CPAP for a mild case of sleep apnea. I hate it! I can't breathe with the machine on and it gives me headaches. I'm not sleeping any better with it than I was without it. I'm still waking up at least once per night needing to do a neb treatment. I also have fibromyalgia and PD, so I'm up several times per night due to pain, which the CPAP doesn't help.

Muscular pain when first using CPAP has been reported by some, Others report chest and back pain from air going into the digestive system. CPAP should not cause pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness during the daytime. Maybe you should talk to your doctor about checking your respiratory and cardiac function. I kept getting symptoms assumed to be cardiac and turned out to be respiratory related with decreased lung function. Good luck on finding answers.

I've been using a cpap machine for over a year but recently I've been waking with severe lung ache !! its almost like I'm winded i can hardly move with the pain I'm worried this might b a side affect to the pressure on my machine being to high ...

I started using CPAP therapy December 7th. I started having problems within a week. I have severe pain in all of my joints, but especially in my hands, shoulders, hips and knees. They all feel very swollen. Each morning the problem is worse and during the day improves somewhat. I stopped using the machine and after one day the pain is reduced considerably. I also weigh myself every morning. I noticed I had gained over 6 pounds since starting CPAP.

I went to my GP who has always pushed to lose weight which I do understand but this fatigue and joint pain can be debilitating.

I've been suffering from joint pain and severe fatigue for at least 6 years. I have been dianosed by several psychiatrists as NOT having depression so, at least according to them, my symptoms are not caused by any mental conditions. I have chronically low levels of ACTH and Cortisol. My CT scan showed pituitary abnormalities of Empty Sella Sydrome and a bent "stalk".

I have been diagnosed with fairly serious sleep apnea and have been using a CPAP machine (set to 15 as the pressure) for several weeks. While I have adapted to the machine, and sleep well with it, my headaches have been more intense lately. My understanding is that the CPAP machine will reduce pressure in my brain because my heart does not have to pump so much to circulate oxygen. My blood oxygen level dropped significantly at night (down to 60%) during my sleep study.

In the past, he has used oxygen to assist with the low levels in addition to the cpap. I noticed his leg/back pain was less while using oxygen. We have recently moved from McAllen TX to Wichita KS. He has stopped using the oxygen and the pain has returned with a vengence not only in his legs/back, but his entire body hurts. Is there any medical support that the use of oxygen helps to reduce pain?

Shhhhhhh - your brain and body are listening. Give yourself some positive self talk, such as... I can do ANYTHING for just 30 days. Sleeping in my own home and bed will be nothing like in that lab. I'm going to take advantage of this change to get 30 days of real quality sleep. I'm glad that CPAP increases my likelihood of a good surgical outcome and recovery. I'm glad the next 30 days I will be at reduced risk of heart attack and stroke.

They said I had Lymes and treated me with Rocephin 2 gm Iv for 28 days and DOXYCYCLINE 100mg po BID for 28 days. The muscle fatigue went away and joint pain but all my labs from quest were negative. My western blot,bortenella,Babesia,Q-Fever. Lymes specialist says a biofilm will form around the antibodies causing them to not show up. Is this true? I am still having pain under my left breast under ribs at times. My muscle do get tired easier. I am confused and do not know what to do.

I have recently been diagnosed with Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea and started on a CPAP machine. At first it seemed ok to be using it although difficult the first couple of times. Then this week I developed edema and pain in my joints. It's worse in the morning after waking and gets a little better the later in the day away from the machine I get. Could the CPAP cause the swelling and pain? Has anyone ever heard of that?

Ask for some adjustment in the machine to overcome this. CPAP machines can also cause air in the stomach-gas and bloating. Lowering the CPAP pressure can help but do not do this without consulting your sleep specialist. Switching over to bilevel pressure or C-Flex may help you too. However, nothing should be tried without consulting the specialist. If nausea is not related to CPAP machine, then other causes will have to be looked into. Commonest cause of nausea is acidity.

The cardiac tests recently have been ok. I think part of the chest pain is rib cage pain. I am now using an Auto-pap. My insurance company is paying rental fees and doctor visit fees because this equipment is not helping. I can't risk sleep apnea, but I want a decent night's sleep!

I've been to quite a few doctors in the course of the past five months, including an endocrinologist and a neurologist, but what's making me sick is still a mystery. They're all running out of ideas, taking their time to run tests that all come out normal, or trying to get rid of me, since they can't explain what's wrong with me.

hazyworld, some are able to effectively treat their apnea with a dental device, but not everyone. Have an honest talk with a reputable provider about your chances of it working for you. They are designed to pull the lower jaw forward, and some complain of pain or have TMJ trouble. But some are willing to do anything to avoid using CPAP. I didn't like CPAP at first either. Are you on oxygen because you aren't using CPAP or with a CPAP?

I've been on a CPAP for 2 1/2 weeks. I'm sleeping relatively well with it, 7-8 hours per night. Almost every day since I've had the CPAP I've had headaches. The headaches don't start when I get up, but rather a few hours later in the day. Earlier this week I saw my doctor for a check up and told him about these headaches, and he said they were real and probably caused by pressure on the brain.

i have mild obstructive sleep apnea and use a cpap,,,i was recently in hospital for some stomach surgery and noticed how much better i felt each morning after using oxygen at 2 liters with my cpap then when i was at home...even though i was in pain i woke every morning feeling very refreshed.. i feel the oxygen made a big difference in my recovery and feeling much better...could using oxygen at home just with the cpap give me the same feeling of being able "to take on the world" ...

Even when I was at normal weight, I still snored quite loudly. My kids made comments that they could hear me on the other side of the house with the door shut. Didn't have a sleep study until 3 years ago. I will have to have my friend and buddy "Snorf" for the rest of my life. Yes, CPAP is a pain in the butt...but it beats congestive heart failure, stroke, heart attack, pulmonary hypertension, high blood pressure and death.
