Hi I have been using my cpap since the middle of December. Its on 7, has a humidifier, and I have a resmed mirage fx. I don't know if I am doing something wrong, but I have not noticed a difference in my energy level and am still very tired. I use it at least 6 hrs a night. I don't have a problem getting to sleep. It just doesn't seem to be making a difference. When I wake up I do not feel rested and my eyes feel puffy. It has however stopped my snoring and my husband stays in the bed all night! I did mention it to my Dr and he said after 6 months if nothing changes maybe go back to sleep clinic. I hope there are just some adjustments, I was really hoping to feel better. ;-)

I would go back to the clinic NOW and get your pressure checked, may be you need a bit more as you appear to be quite a low pressure. I had to get my pressure increased a few times above the pressure they thought I needed.
Contact the clinic and tell them you don't appear to be getting much benefit from it apart from the fact you have mostly stopped snoring.
Let them work out what you need.

Have a chat with your doc in case there is something else going on too. Other things cause sleepyness.Comment

Sounds to me like you may have other problems, if it has stopped your snoring and awakenings then you are on the right track and that is an improvement even if the tiredness isnt gone yet. It may be you need more pressure or a different type of machine or some other assistance, but a trip back to your clinic is in order.
7 is a low pressure especially if it is a fixed machine.Comment
