What Causes Trouble In Wearing CPAP?

I am going for an EEG follow up for possible seizures . I have been treated in the past for PTSD and gad, however I am off all my medication right now . I also have trouble wearing my CPAP lately. What should I expect, and should I ask him anything specifically?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Most common cause for trouble in wearing CPAP mask is inappropriate pressure settings.
So ask your doctor to do titration study to determine pressure levels needed for comfortable mask wearing.
Once pressures are adequate, you will be able to wear CPAP mask comfortably.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
