Morning after 1st night on CPAP
Morning all,
For years I used to snore. Then my GF noticed me stopping breathing at night. I was due for an operation but the pre assessment flagged up potential sleep apnea.
After doing a sleep study thinly mentioned anything of 15 events in 1hr of sleep is the trigger for a mild diagnosis..... my results were 86.
So without delay they sent me home with CPAP yesterday and.... after 9hrs on it overnight I can't believe how different I feel.
Admittedly it took a minute to get used to the full mask (can't breathe through my nose, never had since I was a kid) and I've got alittle chest aching however I read these are common side effect from the constant pressure. Apart from that I finally feel AWAKE and my other chest pains have gone along eith feeling lethargic and generally tired.
Hopefully tomorrow night will be another success! Open to any questions 😀
