Discovering the brain’s nightly “rinse cycle”

I have diagnosed OSA but an older unit I tried (Respironics REMstar Pro w/ humidifier) about 15 years ago, I couldn't keep from ripping the mask off. :'(

Also, my insurance is awful so they won't send me to specialist to get a proper CPAP. And I have high-blood pressure, tachycardia, depression, anxiety, and sleep like sh!t.

Anyhow before I whine anymore about personal problems, how's your day?

I think insurance is uniformly horrible when it comes to CPAP machines (or any other long-term medical devices).

You might want to try a "boil and bite" mouthguard to see if that helps with your sleep apena instead of cpap.

If you decide to go back to a cpap, try a "nasal pillows" mask. Also the cpap devices have gotten much more sophisticated.
