So I'm being lazy here. I'm sure much of what I seek can be found by searching through the Forum but hopefully a helpful soul will save me that arduous task.

A little background.. Recently diagnosed with long term Apnea that has over time begun to cause pulmonary hypertension and through that breathing difficulties. I'm 37, not obese and not unhealthy. The breathing problems are the most telltale sign something was wrong that led to the eventual apnea diagnosis. I just started using my machine. Besides the to be expected discomfort of getting used to it, having a hard time falling asleep etc... It seems that it is actually making my breathing difficulties worse. Is this part of a adjustment period where my somewhat atrophied lungs are having to work more than before due to more airflow? Or is this something of a concern? Air pressure set too high? Or perhaps the machine is aggravating the condition?

Any help or suggestions would be most welcome and wonderful. Thanks.
