I have severe sleep apena and use a cpap machine w/ quanto mask. It sucks wearing the mask.I've tried many masks and one that you bite.
I put key rings on the bottom straps so that I can take it on and off but I still have troubles getting it to not leak. I might wear it all night a few nights per week. Depends on tiredness.I live alone. I think oxygen would be much easier to deal with. I did not know it was an option for apena.

I have not been feeling good for the last few weeks and on Saturday evening after getting into bed I felt short of breath. My wife was in the kitchen, and ask if I was okay, but was able to take on much conversation. As the moments when on it was clear I needed to call an ambulance. After losing consciousness, I finally came to in the ambulance as we went to the hospital. Well, one doctor thinks pneumonia the other bronchitis. Thinking was that my airway got clogged with mucus and I could not breathe. Now, the stupid doctors have me on or medications that I can name, a nebulizer and oxygen while I sleep. I've never had any issues like this in the past, and I don't expect to have another, but then again that may change. Can anyone give me a little insight into the following: Does anyone use oxygen while they sleep? The doctor says I have sleep apnea and that I need it. My injury is C-5/6. Anybody have issues with a lot of mucus eventually shutting off your breathing? Also would like to hear what medications you are on Thanks, Glenn Henry
