What Causes Chest Pain Along With Dizziness?
The last 2 months I have had all kinds of pains,(chest, head dizziness, balance off, dizziness). I believe for the last 2 months, my cpap machine is pushing out too much air pressure. This is not allowing me to breathe out (exhale) the proper amount of air out. I am often woke up 2 TO 3 times a night because off a increased heart rate. I believe I am basically getting too much carbon dioxide from inhaling, and not releasing the proper amount of air out due to cpap pressure set too high. Two months of this and I have all these sypmtoms. I believe all of this can be fixed by my machine being set at lower pressure?
