What you call side effects I call inexperienced user figuring out what works for them. The right mask, the right pressure, the right sleeping position, the right humidification level. Benefits of CPAP versus “side effects” - no contest all at. Sleeping without a CPAP would literally kill me…

I been on cpap for 4 days and I feel so much better, these videos kinda scare me to use it.

​@@Dantheman-1234.You should definitely follow the advice and recommendation of your doctor. KZbin videos are not the final word on this.

Thats make no logical sense what you just said,just like people waking lying around wearing a mask on there face too stop covid ,your breathing in your bacteria give me a break I have been on crap for almost 3 years ,they started me on a full face now im down too just a nasal and I use mouth tape not recommended by my sleep doctor screw them it works fantastic ,I sleep solid every nite a full 8 hours .

I get sick every time I use it. Tried 5 times then have to stop for days to weeks. This modern day iron lung is horrible. I'm still dying no matter what I do. Quality of life matters.

[@lah02155]

It's pronounced C-PAP, not C-P-A-P.

[@Tippy2forU]

It's an acronym. The AI separates it and others blend it. It is technically a C P A P

[@garrettmineo]

The incorrect pronunciation of CPAP destroys any credibility of the video.

I have been using CPAP and corrective mouth pieces for 8 months. According to my machine data, my sleep stoppages have been hugely reduced from 50 per minute to under 10 per minute. Great news, but I have got no relief in how my head feels when I wake up. My brain feels cloudy, heavy, foggy, like waking up after taking a powerful sleeping pill. And this uncomfortable feeling is staying with me 24/7. It is just as bad as when I am not using the CPAP at all. Sort of defeats the purpose of these tools when there has been no improvement in the quality of my mind when I get up. My eyes are as dry as a desert, and my head feels the same way...baked. Is it more likely caused by the machine (leakage) or a problem which the CPAP isn't addressing, like obstructive apnea or another brain issue altogether?

[@janetteelverstone3898]

I am supposed to use it but, after giving it a try, I could not keep it on all night and it was constantly leaking. It did not seem to make a difference anyway. I do not keep falling asleep all the time and the technician blamed me when I said I toss around a lot on my sleep saying everyone else was OK with it. She also fudged my score so I more or.less stuck up two fingers and refused to see her again sending a letter to the whole department. Most people when you ask around do not use th even when issued. Who wants to sleep in a mask anyway? There is a new method that has been tried at Guy's Hospital, London but only 3 have been done and it would cost £17, 500. Maybe AI can come up with something

[@LeifurHakonarson]

When you say that CPAP didn't seem to make a difference, what metrics are you using? Before my diagnosis I had purchased a full-time recording blood-oxygen meter (look up "Vibeat Wrist Pulse Oximeter") which I have continued to use after starting mask use 10 days ago. The device (coupled with free Windows software) produces a detailed report of pulse and SPO2 at 2 second intervals which revealed that prior to starting treatment there were occasions EVERY NIGHT where my SPO2 would drop below 75% - which I believe is considered life-threatening. Since I started wearing the mask I still have apnea events but not a single one has resulted in an SPO2 below 85%. If I did not have these concrete results then I might agree with you that the treatment doesn't help much (I still have apnea episodes after all) but the results of accurate measurements reveal the benefit. Nobody lives forever (I'm 71) but I like the idea of dying of something other than suffocation due to apnea 🙂 BTW, can you tell us more of this new experimental treatment being tried at St. Guy's?

My dry mouth is not caused by air leaks in the mask, it's from mouth breathing which was not even addressed in this video. I use a BiPap and tried turning up the humidity but this did not help and my mask and hose would accu water and gurgle. So, far the only solution I have found is to tape my mouth to force myself to breathe through the nose and this is working rather well. I asked my dentist about the dry mouth problem and he just prescribed me a heavily fluoride toothpaste to use at bedtime that I don't want to use due to its toxicity. So far, the mouth tape seems to be the way to go, any other suggestions?

[@fracman55]

I use mouth tape and it works fine too keep my shut closed during sleep . ,I wear a nasal mask only and sominifix mouth tape .,its got a small opening in the middle of the tape .wear you can still breath just fine with your mouth closed .. ,you can use mouth tape with any nasal,or pillow mask .😊😊 doctors will say don’t use it but for me it works just fine .

Great, more of what the club of hypochondriacs need to hear and the cpap social media influencers who like to hype their fears

[@sportshistorybuff319]

In my case there is nothing hypochondriac about my symptoms. My brain feels as bad, if not worse than it does when I don't use the C-PAP, in spite of my data suggesting my sleep stoppages have been almost eliminated.
