Re: Anybody Have To Use A CPAP Machine?
Thanks for the replies. When I read the study results, I spent 3/4 of the study sleeping on my side, and had 55 episodes per hour. So regardless of what they want to push or not, I will still have the apnea sleeping on my side, so I will go with the machine. I was worried about the seal and how soon...

Anybody Have To Use A CPAP Machine?
I have just been diagnosed with very serious sleep apnea, and I have to get one of the CPAP machines. Do they work? Does it help with getting a refreshing sleep? Do you have to use O2 also with the machine?
TIA,
