You need to speak to a doctor

I agree you need to see a doctor. I too have a horrible cold, I ache all over. I have asthma and am using my inhaler regularly but I don't need my CPAP in the day. If you are in the UK you can call 111 to get advice and maybe an urgent out of hours GP appointment. Hope you feel better soon.

I think you should definitely go to the doctor. You shouldn't need your CPAP machine just to be able to breathe. You might have bronchitis or COVID. Did you take a COVID test? I hope you feel better soon!
