Husband was diagnosed with severe sleep apnoea a few months ago and is really struggling with the CPAP machine. He was stopping breathing 30 times an hour and this was also causing high BP. He is not overweight at all, eats a healthy diet, doesn’t smoke and rarely drinks.
We have spoken to lots of people with these machines and haven’t met anyone who has such problems with it as he has. He is already on his third mask from the hospital as they all leak and the nurse has just ordered him a new machine.so that will be number 2. His is so loud it’s like being in a tent in the middle of a galeforce wind. We are now in separate rooms.
On the plus side his BP has come down a bit but he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep for months.
Anybody else had trouble with these machines? We did expect a few weeks to get used to it but it’s now months with no signs of any progress.

@RoseRed The only way around the noise is to fund your own machine. The ResMed AirSense is the latest and supposedly the quietest.
