Sleep Apnea Support Group

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. People with sleep apnea partially awaken as they struggle to breathe, but in the morning they may not be aware of sleep disturbances.

I also visit cpapsupplyusa.com they seem to have a big inventory that I use to compare products and then order from my DME.

Your DME should set you up with what they feel is best for you. I didn't have any say in my original machine and mask. I have since tried several different masks (settled on nasal pillows and nasal mask backup) but my machine is the original. From what I understand, you should be on a trial period with your DME and if anything isn't working for you, they should change it out.

Good Luck!
