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 had a sleep study done 11/21/07. This was my second sleep study. I discovered I am a mouth breather and that is why the water in my machine completely goes out sometimes. Even when it doesn't, it is low when I wake up.
I was taking my front partial out and I should never have done that.
She said the chin strap wouldn't help me either. She tried me on the CPAP that covers but my nose and mouth.
She also said I am not receiving the full impact of the machine and mask I have since I am breathing out my mouth when it is on. I know sometimes I cough too.
My next appointment is 12/20 so I might call for the other mask before then.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Good luck.
I only had trouble with it the first night. Since then I don't even have any anxiety like I did on the half mask. I sleep very well.
