I will also say that when I used both the mouth piece and tape separately I no longer snored. But again I still slept badly.
Also the pressure made my nose make a snoring sound as air entered. I was awake. Does this mean the pressure was too high?
I have also used sleeping aids in the past, but none of them work. They just make the problem worse.
I'm 26 years old and I have been having sleep issues all my life. I took a sleep study, but the test seemed highly flawed and I still haven't ever gotten to talk to the dr. face to face. They refused. They told me to see a Throat and Nose dr. about snoring issues. I saw both dr.s and they both concluded that nothing was wrong. That I didnt need surgery. I asked them what I could try and they both suggested an oral appliance. I did this and tried two different kind. My sleep didn't improve and I kept waking up through the night, still feeling terrible the next day. I then purchased my own sleep machine off of craigslist because the dr. refused to help me, and refused to sell me one. I had already paid a large some of money for everything so I couldn't just see another sleep dr. So I had trouble with several different masks. I finally decide to try a nasales mask since I move around a lot and feel uncomfortable with full face mask while sleeping.
I think there might be still hope for the sleep apnea machine, and I think I still need to test it on different settings. Based on what I'm about to say do you think that as well? I tried it a couple times with nasal mask, but one time the air was so much it collected in my cheeks. So maybe I should consider lowering the pressure? Also I had issues with the hose because it was cold in my room. So water did go up the hose very well. So should I try it again when it isn't winter?
Also I have tried the tape method separate from the machine but so far it seems to act very similar to how the mouth piece did. I have tried tape method for 2 months. I still feel terrible every day. I will say the color around my eyes do look a bit better and not nearly as black on most days.
Even when I weighed 140-145 pounds I still have issues with sleep. I have never slept well. Every night I wake up multiple times, and never feel rested. I always feel exhausted.
Is there still hope that the sleep apnea machine could work? I have read many success stories and I'm hoping I could finally fix my problem. I have spent so much of my own money to fix this problem, but still haven't found a solution. Thanks for any and all suggstions.
