About the Treatment Method
Machine Usage and Adaptation
The CPAP machine is like glasses; as long as you wear it, you see 100% clearly (it instantly stops apnea and snoring), but when you take it off, the problem continues. Unless anatomical surgery is performed, the device does not radically cure the disease, but it resets all risks and complaints.
Sleeping with a mask on the face may feel foreign to patients for the first few nights. However, when that morning fatigue and headaches that have lasted for years due to a lack of oxygen are stopped dead in their tracks the next morning thanks to CPAP, the vast majority of patients quickly adapt to the device, saying, "I wish I had started earlier."
Mask selection is vital for sleep comfort. A "Full Face Mask" encompassing the mouth and nose for those who sleep with their mouths open, a "Nasal Mask" for those who only breathe through their nose, or minimal "Nasal Pillows" entering the nostrils are chosen with the guidance of your doctor and technician.
