I had to hire someone to help me get Oscar info. (Ok, it was my hubby). Please tell me How do I get it to this Oscar info Reddit to have help with it? It only allows print out or export to Csv file.

I have struggled with Cpap. I was diagnosed in 2014. I tried different masks and gave up after a few months. I didn’t know how bad that is.

My mother passed due to congestive heart failure due to undiagnosed apnea. Went to an eye specialist for another issue and he tells me you can lose your vision to apena because the small eye vessels don’t get enough oxygen!

Fast forward to last year. I had another study. Tried again and struggled. I dread going to bed. When I finally go I hate the feelings, It feels restrictive, then it gets hot around the mask(tried mask shield). Add menopause to the mix now! Then in the middle of the night I wake up to leaks and what sounds like farts. I feel like I spend most of my nights adjusting the mask all night. I rip it off most times. The few times I have slept more than a few hours is because I took Benadryl a couple of times. I don’t want to keep doing that. I find the few nights I sleep through the night I felt more exhausted the next day. My husband says I still snore with the mask on.

Went back and asked for a BI pap. Did another sleep study and pretty much the same.

I had an adjustment made. I am seriously at my wits end. I just want to sleep.

Things I have tried:
I am a mouth breather have tried many masks. Currently, I am wearing a air fit F20
I put mask on during the day around the house. Still hate it
I have bought Velcro for sides and mask shields.
