Default Migraine from CPAP?
Anyone get—or heard/read of getting—migraines from/after using their CPAP machines?

Lately when I wake/get up in the morning I'm fine, but within minutes after taking off the mask I start getting a migraine. If I can't/don't knock it out quick with an abortive, it goes through the whole 6+ hr. cycle (tons-o-fun ).

Rebound has been ruled out; definitely related to more than 4-6 hours of CPAP usage.

Out of curiosity, anyone know how to turn down the pressure on one of these things? Wondering if too high a pressure is the problem, but the pressure has been the same for years, the machine is working fine, and the migraine problem is relatively new.

Tanx,

Doc
