I went to this and slept for about three hours and that’s it, was my first time using this machine.
I feel pretty rested and think I could get used to using it I am just trying to get the opinion of people who currently use this machine.

This new oral appliance replaces the CPAP machine and works for snoring as well as sleep apnea. This is an FDA approved oral appliance.

How many of you use, or know someone who uses a CPAP machine at night to help them breathe and not to snore?

I am very curious about this, since CPAPs save lives all over the world. I think we all need more education on CPAP machines, and we need to spread the word that if people snore or stop breathing at night, they should have a sleep study done.

Sleep Apnea causes high blood pressure, can cause strokes and heart attacks. It sometimes makes people have heartburn at night, and makes them sleepy during the day. People can become forgetful or irritated. This is just a short list of all the damage that having untreated sleep apnea can cause.

I have been using the cpap for about 6 months and still don’t feel refreshed after a good 7-8 hours of sleep.

Recently diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. I woke up 113 times. A CPAP was recommended.

The lack of sleep has had left me depressed, fatigued constantly, severe body aches at times, irritable and have gained 35 pounds.

My question is whether anyone was in a similar situation with the mild apnea and the troublesome symptoms, and whether CPAP helped you.

I have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea a month ago, was for sleep studies, got a temporary tracheostomy and septum plasty, now in this week has to go for nitration and cpap machine. what do they mean with nitration?

I had been using nocturnal oxygen alone for Obstructive sleep apnea.My doctor told me after the first month fo cpap to add oxygen with my cpap.But he didn’t tell me what the flow rate should be. I asked the doctor office 4 days ago but they have not called me back yet

My husband was snoring and not sleeping very well for a few months. We had a lot of issues going on and neither of us were sleeping well. He went to a sleep clinic and spent one night. His AHI was 5 point 1. 5 through 14 is classified as mild sleep apnea. His oxygen saturation was 89%. He had heard all kinds of horror stories on how uncomfortable the CPAP machine was so he decided to lose some weight (20lbs so far), start exercising and eating better and taking melatonin at night for a more peaceful sleep. Both of us are doing so much better.

His DOT physical dr required a release from the sleep clinic. The sleep clinic refused to release him until he spends another night in the clinic and receives a CPAP machine. We have very good insurance and I see this as a subtle display of insurance abuse. They congratulated him on the efforts he has made to become more healthy but they refuse to acknowledge that he may be maintaining his MILD sleep apnea without any medical interference. Could I be wrong about the sleep clinic? Could he really need this contraption for his face? Can’t we control this on our own? He is sleeping fine now. Should he get a second opinion?

After reading the information regarding the benifits and complications drinking distilled water over a long period of time, made me think about using it in the humidifier for my breathing machine. Is there enough exposure over a long period of time to be concerned about. If so, is there any other options to concider. Thanks
