Anyone been diagnosed with sleep apnea?
So I've been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. Apparently I average 34 breathing interruptions/hr and they are telling me I need to use a CPAP machine for the rest of my life likely. This is depressing as I check online at these machines and the pictures are all of old people with these masks on their faces. I am going in for a consultation but on the phone they didn't say I had any other options.
Anyone else suffer from this? I realize that things could be a lot worse as I could have been diagnosed with cancer or something but I hated just one night of wearing the test gear and the thought of wearing one of these things every night is kind of bumming me out.
