The Sleep clinic just called my mom, and someone canceled an appointment, so I took it and I go see the sleep doctor today at 12 noon to see about getting a different CPAP machine since I can’t use this one or they will have to change the air pressure on the one I have but they done that once before and it helped for a little while then it stopping helping me so we shall see what they will end up doing and also may have to look at other options for a mask too this one feels like I am smothering when I put it on and its a full face mask

I know how frustrating it can be when the CPAP isn’t working right. I had a similar issue with my mask feeling too uncomfortable, so I switched to a nasal mask, and it was a lot less suffocating for me. Hopefully, the doctor can find a solution that works better for you, whether it’s adjusting the air pressure or trying a different mask.

I am a mouth breather so I cant use a nasal mask it has to be a full face mask or hybrid mask which I am leaning towards since my full face mask is uncomfortable for me and makes me feel as if I am smothering or suffocating now it used to work for me but not anymore but will continue to try it once I am well from this sinus issues and Respiratory illness I have that’s blocking my airways plus I think my neck is still swollen too blocking off my airways
