I’m happy for everyone for whom cpap works so well and so quick. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of people (including me) who don’t benefits from it. I have tried it three times - CPAP, apap and bipap.
I noticed that there are some mixed opinions on nasal vs full face mask. According to some doctors nasal masks are better because you need to be breathing thru the nose and push the tongue out.
It’s great that your son is feeling better. Unfortunately, weight isn’t always the cause. I’m not overweight but still tried to drop 10 pounds but it made no difference.
I wish it would be as easy as losing weight. I’m not overweight. My BMI is 23.5. Still, I tried dropping 10 pounds but it made no difference to my symptoms.
