Just waking up without feeling like you just got off a weeklong drinkin' spree even though you're sober is reason enough to get it.

Lose weight

Quit being a fatty



 Quoting: Yo Adrian


If you actually read my post, instead of the title, it clearly states that I am not overweight. I thought about telling you to quit being an idiot, but stupid can’t always be fixed. Besides that I’d bet you’re the Fatty, since cowards like you like to always accuse other people of what you actually are yourself, a pathetic no life loser that feels safe behind your keyboard.

Re: Any Sleep apnea advice
Recently I was diagnosed with mild/moderate obstructive sleep apnea, and told that I should get a bipap machine.

Re: Any Sleep apnea advice

Any advice on machines and masks to get, do you need a machine that provides moisture and heated air etc.
I am not overweight and have tried the mouthpiece you can buy for snoring and found that I am apparently fighting the mouthpiece in my sleep because I wake in morning with front teeth aching horribly.
Does the machine seem to help with daytime tiredness a lot or is it a waste of money if you don’t have severe apnea?
 Quoting: Fred Garvin


Im a Respiratory Practitioner that works in sleep medicine and pulmonary lab.
Absolutely get a machine. Not sure if you need bipap but an auto cpap can track how you're doing by setting a parameter of low pressure to highest and machine will meet pressure need breath to breath.
Its nice to have machine with heated humidifier and you can turn off or up/down as needed.
Nasal pillows are the most comfortable and popular. DreamWear is fantastic. Id try that 1st and you'll likely stay with it,
I've had many patients who feel a huge difference in daytime fatigue after using the pap. Use every night for at least 4 hrs and even if you take nap.

You might feel a drastic difference. Ive had 2 recent male pts who said they hadn't felt this good since they were in their early 20s.

Never thought about using it even when taking a nap, makes sense though, thanks for the help.

Untreated OSA is really hard on your heart. Better to use pap than face issues later.
Ive seen pts in my lab who had moderate OSA but having seizures as well

They had no idea and with no bed partner no way of knowing other than symptoms.

This can be a lifesaver.

If you need help decifering your study or proper settings just email me

If you need help I'll be get it to you privately 😉

Re: Any Sleep apnea advice
I had a sleep study done and stopped breathing up to 50 times an hour and would wake up very tired. I had no idea about the machines and the one they gave me is a miracle saver. It was covered under a work plan and I know they aren’t cheap but this cpap machine is the cream of the crop. The hose goes to a mask for the nose and it really isn’t bothersome at all once you get use to it. Here’s a video on the dreamstation.

Wow that’s very kind and helpful, is that a phone extension number above? Would like to communicate through email, but I don’t want to list mine and don’t want you to post yours in this setting, considering all the trolls.
