Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

Wow

I'm so happy I found this thread. I also have sleep apnea. I most likely have it for years but I just finaly went for the test in September. Because I had a lot of migranes and I'm tired but couldnt sleep during the day and was up a lot during the night.

I'm very much the type of guy that like to try things before giving up.
The test was really bad. The tech was really nasty and very un supportive. She put the full face mask on me and I felt like I'm in a jail with all those wires. But I lived,
At the end I was given a bipap machine and I use the "M" size face mask. It's usualy comfortable when I go to sleep, I like to fall a sleep on my side but I usaly have this thing all most every night at about the same time. After about sleeping 4 - 41/2 I wake up, feel un comfortable and remove the mask. I am sure that those few hours that I sleep with the machine are much deeper and un interupted. But I want to get used to maybe taking it off (and maybe use the bathroom or maybe not) make my self cumfy again and fall back a sleep. Anyone have this issue?
I know I'm makeing improvment but I want to do it right.

Thanks.

I'm still not finding a difference after a couple months, but so be it. Last visit with the Doc he told me I needed to use the machine, ok. Then again, I didn't feel I had a problem to begin with, the heart nurse wanted me to take the test- I think she thought maybe needing the pacemaker was caused in part by my supposed apnea.

Anybody tried this?

Stick with it Hugh. I say the same thing after using my CPAP for almost 20 months.
