That's what frustrates me so much there may be some people that need a cpap to drive safe. They pass out while driving & a cpap helps em avoid it. I'M NOT ONE OF EM. But I'm required to use cpap & for me it's nothing more than unnecessary discomfort.

Yes & failed it that's y I'm required to use cpap.

Can I ask you what your numbers were? Are you using a full face or a nasal pillows mask?
-
I don’t need a reason to not use it. I am mandated to use it.
yes, I read the words you highlighted, I still see no report that states you will have a heart issue if you have untreated sleep apnea.rachi Thanks this. -
I have seen men associating parking quickly and equating not needing a CPAP with their feeling of being more masculine.
I'm sorry --- but men who will feel less masculine parking slowly /carefully-- OR using a CPAP machine have some psychological issues to overcome.
I asked my trainer why he's concerned about that, he didn't want to be seen as a "pansy".....HUH?!?!?
W heck??!!rachi Thanks this. -
Too bad they try to force sleep tests on everybody. Just made so many push back against it, including people who actually need help for sleep apnea. Mine is severe and i was not heavy when i got diagnosed. Using a cpap is the only way i can sleep. Loved it from the 1st night i wore it.

Yeah, me too a couple of times, so the newer machines have a battery pack right, and also a REMOTE wifi now that will transmit your readings over the internet, ....from what the doctors office told me.
