I was initally precribed a BiPAP because they said I was intolerant of constant pressure during the sleep study. My pressures were rather low... 10/6.

Despite being a chronic mouth breather, the techs outfitted me with a nose mask so I spent most of the night sounding like a huge blown tire with an endless...
