I'm ahead of the game here...
When I was at my annual physical, I mentioned to the doctor that I've started snoring in the last 6 months. She sent me to a sleep doctor. That doctor looked at my throat and thinks it's sleep apnea. So I'm already thinking I'll need a CPAP.
He sets me up with a home sleep study that I did last night. That had a small box attached to my chest. A nasal tube was connected to that box as well as a finger oxygen sensor (that's what it reminded me of). I could NOT get comfortable at all last night. Note: I generally sleep on my stomach.
I'm worried if I do get a CPAP, with the tube and mask that I'll have a hard time getting comfortable. Anyone have any reassurance? Or horror stories (I think I want those)?
