Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by moondrop000: Has anyone with sleep apnea had the CPAP NOT fix it? Have you had to quit work because you can’t function?
I am sicker every day with low oxygen. I started the CPAP a couple of weeks ago. Will it really work? How do I keep my job? I can barely think anymore. Terrified here.

If you did not go for an overnight sleep study test your machine may not be turned up enough for your specific needs. You should be able to tell the difference immediately, Back to the doctor you go. Tell the doctor that you need your machine turned up higher.

Question by Dick: I have sleep apnea but I can’t get used to using my CPAP machine….?
I sleep on my stomach and I have the nasal mask for my CPAP machine but I can’t get comfy at all and can’t fall asleep. I have never slept through the night with it and I am tired every day. I am wondering if I took a sleeping pill with it at night if that would help. I need to figure something out because the coffee is starting not to be effective with keeping me awake during the day. Any help or suggestions out there?

Question by KAREN R: I was denied homeowners inurance because I have sleep apnea. I can’t believe this.?
Fist of all I would not have even know I had sleep apnea if I had not gone to the sleep study I never st oped breathing even on the sleep study test they just said durnig dream stage my breathing gets shallow. There are probably millions of people who have sleep apnea and don’t even have it know it and they have homeowners insurance, but because they did not go to a sleep study and get diagnosed with it they are allowed to have homeowners insurance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
