C pap machine, sleep Apnea

[northstar9148 82]

My doc told me I have mild sleep apnea. They want me to use this Cpap machine for 6 weeks before they will do a sleeve on me. I move around at night a lot, so far it's not working. Iam claustrophobic too. Is anyone else having problems with this? I'd appriciate any suggestions.

You may need to try a different mask. I didn't really like the mask they initally tried on me because it covered my entire nose. I did get a mask that has like the oxygen mask things that go up the nose and it did take some getting use to, but now, I can't sleep without it! My apnea score is 13.. what was yours?

They didn't give me a score. I was wondering what the name of the mask you got?

It sounds like the same thing I tried called nasal pillows. I was looking for the least restrictive mask and straps.
