CPAP blows pressured air into my nose to inflate my throat so that it does not collapse while I sleep. For 20 years that has happened. What the docs and techs do not understand is that pressure, eight hours a night, like the Chinese torture drip drops, has effects. The sinus cavities are connected with outflows in several places including the tear ducts around the eyes. I awake to vision problems always, and I wait, for the CPAP pressure to go away and vision to regain focus. My docs do not believe me. They will not believe until they get to read astudy about this problem. So, for many years they will make up stuff, and call it floppy eyelids or whatever. Additional problems with CPAP include the pressure of the harness which reshapes the skull. If I start claiming it is making me smarter, maybe then they will listen??? Hey ... I know you won't do this either ... but someone oneday will listen to the person with the affliction and the treatment. Not a doc or a media specialist, not a nurse malpriactionist or researcher. Nope. They gotta go get some numbers from a study and trace a curve and then tell somebody what to build to make our life half so nice.
