The snoring. I do not notice it but my spouse does... she hates sleeping with me without my crazy mask.

@sleepy‍ I snore suppper loud supposedly - my wife has told me. that is actually what made me go to the doctors initially - her unwillingness to sleep in the same bed with me. For me, the lack of sleep due to my difficulty with breathing left me not very energized. I was fatiguing at work.

Two problems that I face continually; dry mouth and bloating in my gut. I’ve tried everything available to keep my mouth closed during sleep but haven’t found a solution. Any recommendations?

@rbhjrsc I used to have dry mouth in my mouth open but I used the nose pillow and also a chin strap keeps my mouth closed Works excellent I also suggested they admitted fire on the machine till a little bit higher so I don't have any more dry mouth

My pressure is high and I haven’t been able to find a full face mask that doesn't vibrate or flap. If I try to make the mask extra tight, it creates welts and sores on my face. It's so miserable. This flapping also wakes me up.

@hulseymx Hello - I also had trouble with my full face mask vibrating, leaking and hissing. I was using a mask that had a rubber/silicon padding. My Sleep Apnea Consultant changed me to a foam mask, and it made a world of difference. Res Med Air Touch F20.

Learning how to deal with my claustrophobia with my cpap up under my nose. I eventually will settle down, but as I do not stay in one position, it can make me a bit nervous.

@SleepingBeauty ooh yeah, I can definitely relate to that. I had to switch masks because of it. Our sleep is bad enough to be having claustrophobia/sleep anxiety on top of it

My husband uses a Cpap and does very well with it. One complication before he was diagnosed with sleep apnea, was he fell asleep behind the wheel and hit a tree. He lived, thank goodness. He was within a couple miles from home. He sustained injuries that still affect him today. This happened a few years ago. He asked to be tested for sleep apnea. He is mid 70's. That is how serious this sleep apnea can be.
