I also have to have oxygen hooked to my machine why do some people need oxygen and others don’t I am only 33 but yes I am overweight Does it get better

I asked the sleep tech when she woke me up after spending the night in the sleep clinic if I had Sleep Apnea. She said that she has never seen it so bad in someone so young. I’m in my early thirties.

I have just learned I have Sleep Apnea and have to use a CPAP machine. I’m on my 4th night and just cannot get used to all this. I know I’m expecting too much too soon, but it’s already breaking my face out. I feel like I’m in traction! Can anyone offer any comforting advice, tips or anything positive? I am really trying to have a positive attitude, but it’s hard. Thankyou!

Has anyone experienced similar problems? How does one overcome this problem? (I have also been diagnosed with a deviated septum, but elected not to have surgery.) Would having the surgery help?

Am I eligible for Medicaid I have been diagnosed for several years but cant afford filters or mask for a machine given to me?

i have obstuctive sleep apnea and require it at night while sleeping

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.
