Hello Sandra!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I read carefully your question and would explain that your symptoms (increased sleepiness) may be related to a CPAP dysfunction and exacerbation of sleep apnea.
I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical examination, a polysomnography and a blood gas analysis. You should check the function of the CPAP machine.
Regarding the muscular cramps, they could be explained by hypoxia (related to sleep apnea), but also to an electrolyte imbalance.
I recommend performing a complete blood tests and blood electrolyte levels (including potasium, calcium, chloride, magnesium, sodium).
Besides, Lasix intake, could lead to muscular cramps.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope to have been of help!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri

Could you please re-upload them for me to review? What kind of tests did you perform?
