I never knew how bad I felt until I got my CPAP and actually got good sleep. And didn't fight not breathing all night every night. I was having over 35-40 apnea episodes a hour and my O2 sat was getting down to 69. Crazy numbers to see on paper to know how truly bad it was.
It's a PITA at first to get used to but not a huge deal. I have to wear a full face mask so that is not as convenient as the smaller ones but it's just part of it.
Regarding looking in your mouth, my dentist looked in my mouth and told me he thought I had sleep apnea. Something about a pink "Halo". Can't remember what he said exactly but another doctor mentioned it as well in the process.
