I had always been a snorer and just never seemed to get enough rest. During my pregnancy over the summer I was mentioning to my OB/GYN how extra tired I was and he immediately got me into a sleep lab. I ended up having 3 visits. The initial one diagnosed the problem as moderate to severe. The second trip in (3 days before I had the baby) was to try the CPAP machine. The third trip in was 2 weeks after the baby was born. They wanted to see if the pressure needed to be adjusted.
I am using a CPAP machine with the heat humidifier. My pressure setting is 15 and my humidifier level is 4.
What an adventure! I am so glad to have found this site-I am still trying to navigate my way through the mire of information. They gave me a full face mask and an over the nose one as well. I feel like I am in a space fighter sometimes!
Anyway, I look forward to learning more about this condition and how to cope with it!
