Post Chest discomfort and daytime shortness of breath 
I've been using a breeze headgear (nasal pillows) with a DeVilbiss 9000 CPAP machine.  It is set at 11 lbs of pressure and I have not been using the ramp.  I have used the machine all night, every night for the past two weeks with good results.  I feel so rested.  However, I have a heavy feeling in the upper part of my chest and  daytime shortness of breath with and without exertion since using the machine.  Has anyone experienced this.  I have no other symptoms such as chest pain, arm numbness, etc   Any suggestions?  Will this pass with time??  Is it concerning/serious??? I appreciate any enlightenment anyone can offer.

Do you have a humidifier attached to your CPAP?   My chest hurt when I wasn't using the humifier.
