Advice & Tips
Make sure you are getting your machine and supplies from a reputable company. Use word of mouth or even use a DME that you are already familiar and comfortable with that you trust. I had to switch to BiPAP and when I did, I also switched my DME to the one who manages my mobility aids...I didn't know I could request them when I got the CPAP. Major, major difference! If I would only known...my nightmare CPAP experience would never have happened. All due to wrong size masks and tightening them down too much (because they were the wrong size).

Ask for a CPAP machine with humidifier, it makes it quieter and stops the side effects like drymouth and sore throat.

The mask is very uncomfortable, Since my I breath through the mouth and not nose I had to wear full face. My apnea was sligh-mildand only detected when I was on my back. I usually sleep on my side anyway.
