Is a few episodes of central apnea and hypoapnea bad? I had a few episodes during a sleep study and only was able to sleep supine for 6 minutes, but during, had 1 episode of that, and 4 of the hypoapnea. I had NO obstructive apneas, yet was diagnosed with Mild Obstructive sleep apnea.

Apneas are never good, but a mild case is the least concerning case for you to have.
As long as you’re maintaining your oxygen levels to some degree and are getting moderate amounts of restful sleep every night, you may want to explore secondary options such as diet and exercise, Breathe right nasal strips or ambulatory surgery in order to fix your apneic case.
Talk to your doctor for more personalized information.

Can you tell me what brand, modell number etc…..also about the mask…..or even the site I can find more information on it.

Thanks heaps!!

I didn’t have a choice about which machine to get. It was purchased (through insurance) at the Sleep Center. I tried several masks but the one that works best for me covers my nose and has 4 velcro straps – 2 for the top of my head, and 2 for the bottom. It works very well.

Is there a way to quickly get rid of the lines and marks my CPAP sometimes makes on my face? It can get embarassing having to go out in public with these indentations from the mask. Thanks.

There are different mask as everyone face is different. Visit sleepnet.com for a wealth of information.

I found a mask a like, I wake up with the marks but they are generally gone by the time I get to work. It is the least of my problems.

I just found a mask called a sleep weaver, that I want to try.
