| Re: Sleep Apnea here too, don't give up.... Quote: Originally posted by robaustin - there are MANY types of masks available now, and the newest models are extremely comfortable AND UNINTRUSIVE.
The traditional type of masks are plastic and cover the entire nose. Many people are completely successful with these. However, for those who are not there are alternates. | When I went over the test results with my doctor he told me that based on the fact that my difficulty is actually getting to sleep [once I get to sleep I am a sound sleeper] that the full mask would probably not be the best option for me. I agreed since having stuff over my nose or mouth really bothers me. the device I got looks somthing like a boxers mouth piece and changes the angle of the breathing passage keeping it more open so airflow is increased. but for me I never really got used to it. guess I'll just have to drop the weight since for most guys thats the main contributing factor.
