What Causes Anxiety And Sleeplessness After CPAP Replacement?

hi, I have a few symptoms at this time. First, I have sleep apnea and have been using a cpap for approx. 8-9 years now. I just recently received a replacement cpap about a week and a half ago. Ever since I have been experiencing anxiety and sleeplessness. Just checked my blood pressure tonight and it was 160/111.

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with sleeplessness and anxiety after replacement of your continous positive airway pressure with a blood pressure 160/111 I am suggesting you have developed a severe hypertension

This kind of blood pressure usually change the mental state of the individual leading to the above symptoms other symptoms include headache vomiting confusion nausea

In view of this please do a chest x-ray ECG and echocardiography to confirm any associated medical conditions

Meanwhile please schedule an appointment with a cardiologist specialist for expert clinical assessment Councelling and adequate drug prescription

Moreover please take tablet captopril diazepam pending your appointment

I hope this helps Regards
