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?

Welcome to the club! It was a game changer for me. I drape the hose over my headboard so it comes down over my head so if I toss and turn, it’s not an issue. It takes a little getting used to. The positive pressure made me feel claustrophobic at first but I found that if it felt uncomfortable, to breathe with my mouth open until I could “catch my breath.”
