My doc said it depends on how bad off you are. If you stop breathing 60+ times per hour and are at 13+ pressure it won’t do you much good.
It’s just a one way valve that lets pressure stay in your nose from what I gleaned.
I have bad apnea. I throw the mask off inadvertantley at night. I also sleep with my mouth open and it blows air out of my mouth if its open. Quite annoying...
I use one and have done for 5 years. Made a world of difference in my work life. Used to feel tire and nodding off. With CPAP I get quality sleep and do better work.
I have no clue what to do. I have Apnea, but also chronic sinus problems. My nose can close up due to snot during the night. If my nose closes up,,,, how the heck do I breath?
