I have trouble breathing at night. Had sleep study and was prescribed CPAP.
I can sleep now! I cannot believe how well I sleep now. My brain is getting the oxygen it needs.
Been there done that, got the box of retired CPAP machines and tubing and masks, somewhere in the house I gave away.
Don’t have sleep apnea anymore. I got rid of it when I got rid of the 154 lbs of ugly Otiose about 15 years ago. Notice I don’t say I lost it, because that implies it might be found again. No thank you. It’s gone, never to return. I did my stint as a beached whale, gasping for air long enough.
It is a wonder the first time a CPAP lets one sleep through the night despite the head discomfort. It’s a modern miracle of technology. I found I had to have a water reservoir on mine or I got very dry nasal passages which got very painful. I was just as glad to be rid of it, though. Get rid of the excess weight, and the apnea problem went away. I was lucky that my apnea problem could be solved.
