I'm 46 and recently diagnosed with mild sleep apnea, though my husband says I started snoring loudly with my first pregnancy which was quite a long time ago. I,ve had mild success with a tongue retaining device I bought online but still snore so I sought a diagnosis. Last night was my first night with a CPAP machine (ResMed). I slept horribly and I feel so much worse this morning. How normal is that?
I kept waking up. I don’t recall having dreamt. I got a nasal mask which seems to fit well but part way into the night I tried to roll on my side and it started blowing in my eyes, and I couldn’t get it to stop for a couple of hours. Might a nasal pillow be better? The device says leakage was 16 L/min and “mask seal” is a green happy face.
