Today I went back to the sleep doctor and got a new mask for my CPAP.
A month after I took it home, I'm still having trouble sleeping with the CPAP. Although I've gotten used to the pressure, I can't get used to the mask. The doctor said most people have trouble with the full face mask that I have been using. The thing is that I'm a mouth breather by nature. They can give me a chin strap to keep my mouth closed, but the idea of not being able to breath through my mouth makes me feel like I'm suffocating. (Even if I'm not having any trouble breathing through my nose.)
The smaller mask is a nice change, but I'm still skeptical. I'll have to see if tonight is better.
Now I look like Gonzo.
