Hi all,
Why do I still have problems breathing during my sleep even though I have lost weight? Might it be the shape of my jawline?
I really have to stop smoking. I am sure quitting smoking would help alleviate some of the night time, early morning breathing issues.

I'm happy to report that, no, my nose and nostrils have not grown.

No...Lol a nose job for a smaller nose.

lol! I hope it's not happening. I HATE MY HOSE! lol
What about a nose job with sleep apnea? That sounds difficult!

Hi all, I know this sounds kind of funny. But I fear my nose and nostrils might be getting larger after using the cpap nose pillow for a number of years. I hope this is just my imagination. I already have a large nose and I realize noses get larger with age. Does anyone know if this actually happens...

Hello everyone. Actually, I do use my machine almost every night. Just last night I didn't use it.

I'm a bit concerned. I smoke. I have to stop. I just can't seem to want to yet. I relapsed about a year or two ago. The cold weather makes me cough and choke. But what really scares me is, when I DON'T use my Cpap machine I dream I am choking. That's because my throat feels like it's closing up. I k...

Sorry I never listed the equipment. I will find out later and get back.

I know people here will understand what I am going through! Sleep Apnea is effecting my job in a bad way! 1. I am using my cpap machine. I'm going to sleep around 9:30 because my body wants to. However, I am waking up around 3am every morning! How do I deal with that? I get back to sleep eventually,...

Does some cheaper over the counter nasal spray work just as good as the doctor prescribed azelastine nasal spray? It's rather costly. Also, I am using the CPap machine overnight. However, I am waking up with aches in my upper back. I am not sure if this is due to the way I am sleeping, or if the Cpa...

Do you feel rested after 6 hours? If not, can you go back to sleep with CPAP? The machine doesn't set my sleep hours. I get up when I feel sufficiently rested. I might have had trouble sleeping the full amount of time I needed when I started therapy, but I soon adjusted to getting as much sleep as ...

I get around 6 hours sleep. I really would like between 8 or 9. I need it.

The Cpap machine is working wonderfully. However, I get up too early. I wish I could sleep until 7:00Am. I am getting up 5:00Am, sometimes even earlier.
