Question by betty r: Is it safe to use a cpap machine without a doctors prescription, even if you have all the symtoms .?
I have no insurance. My doctor has been wanting to send me for the sleep testing for the sleep apnea. I snore badly, sleep only 1 to 2 hours at a time. Just as tired when I wake up as I am when I go to sleep. No energy, tired, sleepy all day. I have gained 30 pounds in the last 6 months. I really can not afford to go to the doctor, especially this sleep test.

I am pretty sure that it cant hurt you but I would ask a professional.

I had a wisdom tooth pulled Friday, and it is now Sunday night. Is it safe to use my CPAP machine yet for my sleep apnea? I don’t want to cause a dry socket or anything.

I recently have been diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea and have started treatment with a CPAP. It makes me feel better but I just feel uncomfortable no matter how hard I try to get used to it. I am not obese(185 lbs, 5′11″) so that is not the cause of my sleep apnea. I am meeting with my doctor soon to discuss other treatments outside of the CPAP, but I wanted to see if anyone could give me information or personal experiences on the surgery before I meet with him.
