A c pap forces you to breathe a timed and pressured way. Mine was to much so I would start swallowing the rest causing awful belly aches. They are able to read your machine so it must be telling them something. If you get a bi pap your lucky. It’s hard to qualify for one. I had a chance to test one for two nights I am 74 it was so much calmer. If you see if you can try one out and see. It lets you breathe normally. It makes a big difference.
