Has anyone else had this awful side effect? I tried a CPAP first so they switched me to a BIPAP and still same issue. Heart palpitations waking me up constantly all night.

TIA!

I would obtain and wear a recording pulseOx like the O2Ring... I wear mine every night... along with Oscar/SleepHQ it's like having a sleep lab report every morning. Tuning your PAP pressures may help if you're experiencing low O2 concentrations... most folks are given machines set to AUTO with too low a min pressure these days.

You should see a cardiologist to find out what is going on. The can prescribe the use of a Holter monitor to record what the heart is actually doing.
