Just got cpap, getting over bad cold. nose too irritated to use but know shop, doc, ins. watching for stats. performance anxiety from pressure! help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Performance: anxiety of any sort normally fades over time. We habituate to the new experience, like not feeling the watch or ring we wear after a short time. I've seen C-PAP help many. Peace and good health. The machine is doing the work, not you, so its the one that can have the performance anxiety!
