dealing with the cpap

Post by ehead65@gmail.com » Tue Oct 21, 2014 5:11 am

I don't think I am alone in this, but my Cpap often wakes me up at night. I feel like I constantly fighting the hose and the masks. Sometimes, I would just like to throw it against the wall. Can anyone relate to this.

Are there alternatives to the Cpap?

You will get more responses if you start your own thread. This one is an old one and most people aren't going to open an old post asking for a free machine.

That said, most people do have struggles when first using a machine. This is a great place to ask questions and get great advice from people who have struggled with the same problems. I know there were times where I spent a good hour swearing at my mask because it kept leaking. Part of my problem was not placing it on my face correctly. And part of it was needing a smaller sized headgear.

When you start your ow thread, tell us what problems you are experiencing and what you have tried so far. Also, fill out your profile so that we can see what machine you have, what mask you are using, and what your pressure settings are.
