I had a Philips Dreamstation that was recalled. I'm not sure exactly what happened but I started having an issue where I would feel extreme euphoria at random times throughout the day when I inhaled. It only happened when I used the Dreamstation. If I used my travel CPAP or my replacement Airsense, I had no problems.
I saw my PCP about it and we never figured it out. And again, it stopped when I switched devices.
I don't know what gases were being released but there's got to be a correlation.
The reason for the recall is due to the sound insulation material breaking down and being breathed in.
This certainly should not cause euphoria :?
Dunno doesn't sound too bad to me
Not a bug, it's an undocumented feature.
