Sleep Apnea and adjusting to a CPAP machine: Tips?

@john my concern is your mouth breathing. The BiPap adjusts the pressure to keep your breathing comfortable. Medicare pays for the machine and supplies prescribed by your doctor. Actually my health insurance paid until I transitioned. I had a pulmonary work up before the diagnosis of apnea was made. The f20 is the best for me as well. The previous head bands left a dent in my forehead. I know that you are self aware but I've lost trust with many doctors.

Need to correct myself. The pressure of a BiPaP is set to each patients needs. Since I stop breathing mine is set at 18/5. The highest the dream station can be set. That's 18lb in and 5 out. I experienced multiple apnea a night. This starts my breathing in case I stop. Plus the latest I have nasal collapse. I have to breath actively or less air goes into my system. Old age does wonders to us. Makes you wonder why advanced age is so difficult. Sorry to annoy you.
