Hello,

Understand your predicament. It may be difficult initially to get used to the CPAP device. You could start by trying them for very short periods and then increase the timing as you get more comfortable. You could also request for lower pressures from your doctor and gradually increase the pressure and this may help. You could also try different masks and see which are more comfortable for you. In addition, if any nasal blocks try to keep them patent with OTC nasal decongestants and aim for optimum weight with exercises or long walks. But ensure to use CPAP therapy on a regular basis.

Hope This Helped and Do Keep Us Posted.
