Hi I get major heart fibrillation or heart racing very very fast

Hi, I'm Lorraine and I've been on a CPAP resmed 11 for years now I wear the nose cushion mask. I have horrible dreams and night terrors a lot to wake me up cuz I've stopped breathing..every single night it happens. I'm scared really bad. I'm awaiting if I change to bi-pap. Please anyone in my situation please tell me. I feel so alone on this 😢

  1. Lorraine- I have terrible dreams with my CPAP. They eventually go away, but if I miss a few nights while out on the lake the dreams come back. These dreams are horrible, they make me question my sanity! Hang in there, this should get better. If not, consult your sleep physician. Good luck to you.

    1. I've used a Resmed for several years. I was quite scared at first to use it and had anxiety. Talk with your sleep provider about these issues, that's the best thing. Maybe your doctor can also help. best of luck! We are all here for you. Warmly, Brian (Team Member)
