I dont know how old this is but I'm suffering from the same thing it seems. I am jerking awake every time I fall asleep and my mental health is so bad. After reading this I am absolutely terrified that nothing will ever help. Has anyone gotten anywhere? I assumed I had OSA because I am overweight and I snore, but maybe its not that. I haven't had the results of my sleep study yet but have been using a cpap I bought, but I still jerk awake. I feel like I am going insane. I can't live like this much longer

Hi I really hope someone can help My sleep apnea causes me to jerk awake every single time I fall asleep. I haven't slept more than 4 hours a night for months. I have an auto cpap machine and it doesn't work?? I still just jerk awake, either seemingly from an apnea, or a few times it's been from the burst of air from the machine. I've also tried turning it to the cpap setting and every time I jerked awake I would turn the pressure up until it was at the absolute highest and still didn't seem to stop the apnea. I am really losing hope. I dont know what my pressure is as I bought the machine. I've done a sleep study on NHS but they won't give me the results and are saying it will be months. So I'm hoping someone who knows more about cpap might know or has been through the same thing? I worry that auto just isn't for me but I don't know what to set it to. I also saw that it could be due to the comfort setting? I turned it to 3 as I found the cpap really over whelming to wear at first. Sorry for the long story but I just wanted to try and be clear. I would be so grateful if anyone had any advice. I am so low because of this I just never sleep at all Thank you
