This is more correct than most would want to hear. I got my CPAP in
the spring a couple of years ago (I think...I can't remember
exactly). If I remember correctly, I was told that my breathing
stopped (and consequently my heart) about 37 times a minute. For that
reason alone, they put me on a CPAP.
And to think my wife sent me in just to have my snoring checked
out... ;-)
I'm using a mouth/nose mask, and it works better than the nose-only
mask I started with. Thanks to my rather extreme allergies, I found
that I couldn't breathe with that about 85% of the time, and opening
my mouth to breathe only defeated the purpose of the machine. My only
problem with it is that in order to get it to seal well enough to keep
from blowing air into my eyes, I have to cinch it down tight enough
that it rubs the bridge of my nose raw. I do have to admit, though,
that the humidified machines are nice.
