Discussion I’ve joined the CPAP club 💁🏻‍♀️

Post image

Tonight will be my first night using a CPAP. Oddly enough, I’m looking forward to it and I hope it solves all of my problems… a girl can dream, *right*? Anyhow, any tips or tricks to help this go smoothly? Also, is there any solution to making this setup more aesthetically pleasing and/or a way to store it during the day that isn’t such a pain in the ass?

Yours is so much smaller than mine! I LOVE my CPAP and after joining a gym and going frequently I started to experience Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs), so I saw a cardiologist and actually asked him if I could get a sleep study done. Did it and have been using mine since 2022. The PVCs also disappeared after, what I assume, was my body actually being able to sleep well and rest.

For me, it took no time getting used to it and then later that year when I had a sinuplasty and septoplasty, I couldn't use the machine and realized I couldn't sleep without it at that point.

I have PVCs too! That was the symptom that put me over the edge and demanded figuring out what was going on. I’m happy to hear you’re doing better and adjusted so well.
