    I saw a guy driving a day cab yesterday wearing a full oxygen mask. He looked like a fighter pilot. I have no idea why he was wearing such a thing.

    That's because he had truck stop food and couldn't breathe in the cab with all the extra gas he was making

    CPAPS are pretty much a scam. When they did these studies they "forgot" the one that medical care providers do not use these devices during your care not are the important enough to warrant a study during your hospital sta . Even worse, they dont regulate the chemicals you are breathing. You might as well be vaping yourself to sleep. The chemical additives vary greatly from machine to machine and are not a normal prescription. Do meditation breathing exercises, lose weight and die . Dont breathe chemicals because they told you so. Remember that it wasn't long ago that a cigarette was a sleep aid too.
