Hello, I was wondering if I can get any additional input from those who have the CPAP machines. I am 28 years old, overweight but not obese, and have been a mouth breather while sleeping for all of my life. This leads to snoring at night, which is not helped by nose strips, sprays, fans, positions, extra pillows, or anything else I can think of. I cannot breathe through my nose alone at night so what is happening (I think) is more of a double breathing through my open mouth and nose. I usually wake up feeling fine, however, I seem to completely crash at about 2 hours after I get out of bed. When I brought this up to my doctor, she suggested a sleep study and that they may recommend a CPAP machine. This makes me feel embarassed and unhealthy. Have any of you been using a CPAP around my age or know anyone who has?
