Hello @DanM , they put me on cpap and did a study of my sleep with that, they gave me a mask that just fitted my nose, and I could not breath in from my nose , i was only able to breath in and out from my mouth. I cannot sleep with a machine all my life, there must be some other way to cure this..
Hello myapnea, I am from Bahrain, age 34, weight 83. Since 6 years , I have continuous severe headaches, I hardly sleep at night and wake up starving for breath every 10 to 20 mins. I doze off while driving, and always sleepy during the day. I have been to ENT , neurologist, don't all types of tests . Recently a neurologist did a sleep test and he concluded abnormal polysomnography , with findings of suggestive obstructive sleep apnea and strongly recommended me cpap with pressure of 14cm/h2o. They tested cpap on me for an hour, asked me to breath in from the nose and breath out from the mouth, I went choking with this cpap and was not able to wake up. Later with cpap I tried breathing from the mouth only, and I had the best sleep of my life. Please advise me what should I do, I scared of using cpap all my life , Please help, I cannot suffer from severe headache and deprived from sleep its 6 years now.
