I have been diagnosed with OSA and got stuck with an archaic machine. I have tried different masks with little help. My pressures are just high enough that the mask tends to blow away from me if not tightly fastened and that makes it tough to find a comfortable mask. My pressures are 17 in 13 out. I don't have insurance to pay for a new one but need one terribly. I am a single mother of two. Any help?

I guess it would help if I told you a little about my problem (not like you don't already have a clue ). During my sleep study I had over 500 episodes where I quit breathing. We found that for some reason my airways collapse when I sleep. So the doc set me up with a BiPap machine that came used from the hospital, is archaic, and has no ending balance under my payment method. I can't afford a whole lot and was wondering if anyone knew where I could find affordable(cheap) BiPaps or some organization that will help with funding. Any suggestions?
