Question 3

first night on cpap, but couldn't tolerate it more than 30 min, was causing me a chest pain, so i took it off, and then felt better without it. pressure is 7. was the chest pain from too much air flow?

Accepted Answer

: It does take time to get used to CPAP. A pressure of 7 is actually not very high so I doubt the chest pain was due to too much pressure/air flow. You should contact your doctor to find out why you had chest pain-it could be anxiety from the CPAP but you need to have it evaluated to be certain. If you continue to wear the CPAP regularly, you will get used to it. Good luck to you!

good day

i have issue with the way i handle disappointed or things not going my way i am queite by nature but all time i fail  or disappointed i feel chest pain and need fresh air asaps..do i need to see a gp about issue it being 4 year or its norm?

Accepted Answer

Likely anxiety but: The symptoms are very likely anxiety and definitely not normal. A visit to your GP would be a good start to make sure you don't have asthma or other breathing disorder. A clinical psychologist should also be able to help you understand the reasons for your reaction to disappointment. Since you are young, investing time now in understanding this problem will pay dividends for you in the future.

Asthma: Sounds like you might be dealing with poorly controlled asthma that is not being properly treated. See a specialist, like an Allergist or Pulmonologist, in order to get a more detailed workup and evaluation to determine severity of asthma/breathing problems. Might need more potent daily controller therapy.

Accepted Answer

Probably GI: Still you need to rule out heart problems as women frequently have atypical chest pain masquerading as heart problems or circulatory issues. Best to start with your primary doctor and start getting the answers and some reassurance. Expect getting an ekg, blood work and possible x-rays.

Seek telemedicine: I am a Cardiologist.  Base on you age, it is highly unlikely that you have heart disease.  However, given the limited information I cannot say for sure.  You may also consider pleurisy or possible Covid infection.
