comfortgel mask giving me some problems?

Hi, i'm just over 1 week into my cpap trial using the REMstar auto with a comfortgel mask. The first few nites I found it really hard to sleep as I guess it takes time getting used to sleeping with a mask blowing air up your nose.

When I exhale my throat closes, is Cpap right for me?

Hi folks, I picked up my cpap machine yesterday for a 2 week trial. I have just had my first night with it and I dont feel what I hoped I would but I do understand this treatment takes a lot of tweaking.

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea on thurs and I was told by the doc at sleep clinic that he recommended surgery(throat stapling was mentioned) or cpap treatment. I have opted for cpap as I want something to try as soon as I can to see if it helps. I would just like to pool your experience for anythi...
