Respiratory problems at night

[Guest guest]

I have problems breathing while sleeping, and I cannot breathe at all

while lying on my back. I have just begun sleeping with a CPAP, and

it isn't working out too well: I still wake up tired and sleepy, and

usually have to take off the mask in the middle of the night. Two

nephews with CMT use CPAPs also; I wonder if respiratory problems are

common with persons with CMT. If so, how do others handle sleeping

when they can't breathe sufficiently. --Joe
