My son went and got tested and they woke him up 10mins into it and masked him. He’s been on it for a month or so and says he feels like he has energy to spare. Considering he is only 29, I’d say yes it must help.

anybody use one and does it help??? Yes, they help a lot. Get a Bi-pap machine if you can, as they have better, higher air pressure and work more efficiently. Bi-pap & C-pap rigs Help you stay in REM sleep longer, and keep your airway open. I think mine is the only thing keeping me alive. I'm sure mine saved my life last week when I had a Angio-Edema allergic reaction and my tongue swelled up and closed off my airway. Without the high pressure airflow keeping my airway open I would have suffocated. walleyed

I had the test done and was issued a cpap . That was a real life changer. I couldn't stay awake on lunch break and was always tired. Had a couple co workers having the same problem they eventually they went and got tested and both got cpap or bipap . They both said the same thing live changer. I have since been found to be diabetic and between the medication and diet changes lost about 35-40 pounds and no longer use my cpap.
The bitterness of poor quality last a lot longer than the sweetness of low price

I was having medical problems and the small-town hospital threw a sleep apnea test at me. They pasted wires to my scalp and I didn't sleep a wink, but they said I did JUST ENOUGH that they knew I needed a cpap machine so they sold me one just to make more $$$. I tried it but would wake up with the hose wrapped around my neck and I didn't need it anyway. I took it to an auction and it didn't even sell. Maybe someone stole it. Dunno.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

I have a Bi-pap. I stop breathing several time a night. Had a lot of problem keeping the mask for leaking air because I move around a lot at night. I changed to a small pillow maybe, 14x14 that helped a lot. I wake up with a dry mouth and have the humidifier.
On a side note: does anyone use the So-clean machine? I do and it is great, pricy but worth every cent.
