I have been on a cpap for severe OSA for about 3 months. The first 3 weeks was literally life altering..... I felt that much better but within a short period of time I began to feel exhausted again. Very very disheartening. After contacting my DME I had the pressure adjusted from 7 to 9. I have been on this pressure for only a couple of days and I'm hoping the increase will see me improve.
As for my opinion regarding the use of the machine...... well just let me say anything that can potentially bring me back from being so tired I am willing to try. I am fortunate that I have had little or no compliance issues.
I have lost the majority of my adult life because of extreme exhaustion. My OSA is by no means the worst I have seen but it seems to have hit me really hard. Years of being treated for depression and a heart attack 2 years ago at the age of 35 have left me wondering about my future. I had all but given up hope of overcoming being tired all the time. With this diagnoses (OSA) and feeling like I did so early on I have had that hope renewed. Even with this current setback I am confident this is the right path. *crosses fingers*
