You have to make up your mind you're going to get used to wearing it. It takes a couple weeks but its all in your head. Just get a mask (I use a nasal mask) and wear it.

And you don’t have to be a fat Bastid to have sleep apnea either.

My Brother in law is 165 lbs and has a machine

Mttraper and Yukon, I had a test earlier in my life twenties and was told I didn't need one. As a teen I had surgery tonsils, adenoids, nasal, to correct my breathing obstructions and snoring I had even as a young kids. I use one all the time now.

Thats called a good salesman.

When a person eats a high carb diet their hands swell up, their feet swell up, their belly swells up. their tongue swells up. Then trying to sleep with an extra 40 lbs of weight sitting on their chest and wonder why they cant breathe when they sleep.

A machine to make it all go away? a pill to make it all go away ?

I dont think so.

If you sleep alone...you’ll nevah know you have it.

The good thing is...one morning you won’t wake up. Best way to check out if yah ask me.

My wife video taped me snoring and not breathing for 30-45 second...thought I was dead.

Oh I see...Its just like covid, you can have it and not even know it. But as long as the doctor says you do, its best to listen to them and not try to get healthy, just buy their machine instead.

Yukonjeff..... Reggie White didnt want to use cpap..... hes' DEAD

I tend to believe this way also

I suppose in some extreme cases it may be helpful , but if you walk in with an insurance card you ain't walking out without a machine . Guaranteed , 100%

I bet he didnt change his diet either.

I have been using one for just shy of 11 years. I have a nasel mask and I have had very good success with my machine. I can hardly sleep at all without it. My pressure range has stayed the same since I started. The newer model had a ramp up phase which I deleted as I could not fall asleep with the lower pressure. I am down to waking up less then 2 times per hour with the machine. I was waking up 43 times per hour when I was tested.

I have not had the adjustment issues that many seem to have and I use mine all the time.

This ignorant reply comes up ever time these posts arise. Due to your symptoms your doctor schedules the test. They already know you have it BEFORE you go for the test. They need to find out how bad your case is so they know how to adjust the machine or you'll require surgery.

I doubt very much that any people, without serious problems with sleep apnea, bother to go through the hassle of referrals, consults and taking the night long sleep apnea test.

Right..they see your overweight and unhealthy. I could diagnose you too. If you really wanted to fix the problem, you could fix it yourself without surgery.

I see these ignorant post come up and I try to help.

Educate yourself.

I would be a little nervous if my wife took a video of me not breathing instead of trying to revive me.

Yukon where did you get your PhD? Just curious

Anybody know of anyone that had a tongue that looked like that? Yeh me either

The title also says "1 cause". I personally know a few people who were tested, but didn't qualify. And yes, they all had insurance.

.

As you can see ...he's a you tube Doctor.

Hey Yukon...evah had a stress test...to see what's really going on ? Or you too good for that ?

Funny I was diagnosed with it when I was in the Army and in the best shape of my life
