CPAP via face mask: A full face mask is placed over the nose and mouth with a good seal. It can be used for those that are mouth breathers, or for pre-oxygenation in spontaneously breathing patients prior to intubation.
I would recommend you speaking with your doctor to make sure that the dizzy, lightheaded feeling isn’t related to a condition other than CPAP therapy. Your doctor will also be able to review your sleep therapy data to determine if you could possibly benefit from setting adjustments.
Behavioral changes such as switching your sleep position and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help manage sleep apnea.
I have met so many doctors that are book smart but have not one ounce of Common Sense and I are either too arrogant or too lazy to actually look up something they don’t know or understand. All of her problems started with a misdiagnosis when the answer was right on the bottom of the MRI report. We went to pelo less than 10 different specialists with ten different misdiagnosis until we looked at the bottom of the MRI report which mentioned Chiari malformation as an afterthought. It wasn’t until we looked up the symptoms and match them up to what was going on with my wife before we figured out what can separate specialists either couldn’t or couldn’t be bothered to find. So get off your high horse. Your medical degree makes you less human in my eyes

Hypoglossal nerve stimulation is a relatively new treatment that involves a surgeon implanting a thin, flexible tube in the muscles between the ribs and an electrical pulse generator in the chest (below the collarbone).
CPAP remains the gold standard for treating moderate to severe OSA, but there are many other sleep apnea treatments to consider, from CPAP alternative devices to conterraneo solutions.
We do not personally test CPAP equipment, anti-snoring mouthguards, supplements, and other medical devices that require a doctor's prescription. Rather than using specific rating criteria, we rely on our team's extensive knowledge of sleep products and medical industry standards to pair each reader with the right devices.
Similar to CPAP, alternative treatments focus on maintaining an open airway and promoting regular breathing during sleep. Some include lifestyle changes, while others are more invasive.
Customer Service Expert Carol says: May 21, 2019 at 11:09 am Hi James, I am sorry that you were not able to receive any relief using your CPAP Therapy. I totally understand that how frustrating it is when being told that using CPAP Therapy will help you get a good night’s sleep only to find that you are having the same sleepiness.
If you feel depressed after starting CPAP, share your symptoms with your physician to determine if you could benefit from working with a therapist, as well.
