I was placed on a Cpap after a sleep study diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea five years ago. I was diagnosed with MG two years ago and I am now finding it increasingly harder to sleep/breathe with the Cpap. My mask feels great so that is mot the problem. In the mornings my chest hurts and my breathing muscles feel exhausted. I've been reading that BiPap is better for MGers. Has anyone had to go from the Cpap to the bipap because of MG?
