Never ever in my career have i seen a CPAP cause a patients blood vessels to pop. Possibly the mask wasn't fitting right or the pressure or altitude wasn't right. Are you overweight? That could make it hard to breathe lying down. You NEED to use the CPAP thats the key to being able to breathe. Trust me!! See a Pulmonologist, most likely the doctor that prescribed the CPAP.
