If you can loose weight and get rid of CPAP, great, luck you are. I don't have this option... Sorry to hear that. 20 is very young to be laboured with this apparatus. But, before think your life is a hell and whatever, just think that are many other people with much worse medical conditions and lif...

So if you're going to lose the weight, WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE SO ALREADY???? I presume you're being obtuse because you've had a lack of success dieting, for which I'm sorry to hear. In 2018 I lost 10Kg (and kept it off). I believe I can do it again. Any diet might help you lose weight in the short te...

Where's the lie? I got the machine on Friday and have been using it for the past three days, the first two nights of which I've had sticky/dry mouth and clenched jaw. Could be a coincidence but I consider it is related to the machine. Why are you being so hostile? Just because I wanted to choose the...

I also have lower-jaw clenching/discomfort. Feels like I cannot sit my tongue anywhere comfortably in my mouth. Have had it occasionally even before using CPAP, I think it was back when I used to chew gum, but it came back as soon as I started using CPAP for some reason also.

I made the first change in subject title to include UK info so the UK members would maybe spot it and help out. I was trying to be nice and help out..... Then someone removed my edit...hmmm...we know who did that because there are only 2 people who can do that....me and the OP So then I changed it ...

It'd be great to know what kind of mask you have. People might be able to give you some advice about the noise problem. Can you take a picture of it and post it? Thanks again for your post. It is most helpful. I'll see about producing a picture. I was out cycling hills and forgot to premed for my a...

4 years ago I had a heart attack and a quad bypass

Were there any warning signs? How did you survive?

Surgery should be saved for the last option because the results can be worse than the apnea.

Thanks for sharing your story.

* Did you have a sleep study? If so, tell us something about your diagnosis: mild, moderate, or severe apnea? Do you know what they said your AHI is (apnea/hypopnea index)? Or did they tell you the main problem is not apnea but low oxygen levels at night? Hi Emerita, thanks for your post. My sleep ...

Sorry but I have no intention of living like this forever. I'd sooner kill myself. But before that, I'll lose the weight as I've been told this is often a way to cure it. I'll never get a girlfriend if she sees I need this to live. That is no way to live. I don't care if you've made peace with it an...

I just got given a Philips DreamStation because I'm so fat (91Kg, 5'9") I need assisted breathing apparatus to sleep. With a name like DreamStation you might expect it would be pleasant, but this is a Chinese torture device. You stick rubber over your nose which restricts breathing whilst shotgunnin...
