What Causes REM Sleep And Shallow Breathing After Using VPAP Machine?
My husband has MMD and has a vpap machine. For the last few weeks he has been doing that rem sleep. Shallow breathing, then very heavy breathing with his chest heaving, moaning, and leg movement. Do I need to worry about it? He is on oxygen at night with his vpap. Age 67.
