Cpap machine pros and cons

[JHarrell89]

The next night after I used it I could tell a difference right away. The only bummer. I hate being reliant on an object. Be glad you're doing it now and now when you're 25 like me.

I am a side sleeper and require a relatively high volume of air flow so I have to use the full mask. I put it one first night and haven't slept a night without it.....sometimes I dislodge the mask during the night but the air loss wakes me and I readjust it and go right back to sleep. I don't know how I ever slept without it.

This! LOL .......... Night night!!!!


I can't believe I just did that! Ohhhh well!

Nasal pillow is the only way to go for me. I tried them all .

When did they start shaving the top of your head for the sleep studies? Must be a new requirement ?

I am 6 ft 185 and have sleep apnea. I stopped breathing for a total of 157 minutes over the course of my sleep study. Several times for over 40 seconds. It is dangerous. Your heart thinks you are in a fight for your life situation am revs up big time. The being tired issues are what people notice, but the constant over revving so to speak of the heart is what makes you 50% more likely to have a heart attack. Loosing weight can help, but you should be on a machine until you are sure. Losing weight does not cure true sleep Apnea for most, but it does help. I did not snore I was just tired and for my entire marriage my wife would wake me up because I was not breathing and it freaked her out. I always thought she was making a big deal about nothing. It took me 6 months to be able to sleep through the night without it and I never sleep without it now. Nose pillows are the best by far. Mask suck and a lot of people just say the heck with it because of them. GET THE NOSE PILLOWS. Gonna change your life. Stick with it you will get used to it.

Hahahaha I get it all the time at the lease or traveling hunts. I don't have the full mask but it sounds the same..

Me too but most of them were around before the mask so they now worship if too! They get more sleep as well from what they tell me!

Yes sir....I used to be the guy that always had to get a room by himself. Now I'm first pick for a roomie because they know there is absolutely no snoring with the machine.

My wife wants me to go to a sleep, study bad. I'm 27, but she says I'll stop breathing during my sleep, and I snore pretty loud. I've been putting it off for a while now. Just haven't wanted to mess with it. I do stay pretty tired most days as well. Guess I just need to bite the bullet and go see what all this good sleep is about.

I know I would not be alive right now if not for that machine. I would have died and possibly killed others from falling asleep while driving. I you're tired all day and frequently nap at red lights you need one.

If you stop breathing you absolutely need to get it looked at before you don't start breathing again that one time.

I have it very bad. Been on bipap since 2004 didn't like cpap at all- I won't even nap without mine. Take it to lease, scout campouts , everywhere . I have a battery and inventor for tent camping. I can not go to sleep without it - mentally I think but just can't

[Mike Murphey]

Bottom line...Sleep Apnea will kill you....

I'm 39, and I wish I did it ten years ago. It's not an overstatement to say that it changed my life.
