i have COPD, which has been acting up alot due to allergies lately. I was recently put on CPAP and am struggling to use it. I feel like it's opening my airways but I'm still struggling to breath from the COPD. It's kind of like I'm fighting the CPAP machine. Is this just me? What are your thoughts?
