Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, is their anything besides sleep apnea that could be causing me not to get the much needed sleep i so desperately need? I ve been using the CPap for about 6 years now. My pressure has been change 4 times but i still wake up super tired. In my good days i actually wake up rested, but after a couple of hours of being awake my energy levels are drained and i get really tired but can go to sleep. Im like a zombie not wanting to do anything but try to sleep. Any advise is greatly appreciated.
A revision of your pressure will be required but at the same time I would recommend couseling with a psychiatrist to help with any issues related to depression, anxiety and insomnia. I am sure addressing any such issues if present will also help greatly to treat your sleep apnea.
Best wishes.
