New to CPAP Therapy

Post by SimJunkie » Mon Dec 07, 2015 10:39 am

Hey all, new to the site. Recently got diagnosed with 36.6 ahi; with a prescribed 17 cm therapy pressure.

I've used it for about 5 nights now and can certainly feel the difference but it hasn't be without setbacks.... Over-tightened the mask on night 3 to try to fix the leaks and bruised my nose pretty well.

Just wanted to say hi and get some support!

Thanks for reading.
