I'm shocked. I know I was at risk for it because of my weight (which is why my doc had me do a sleep study), but I never through I actual had it because I've never remembered waking up gasping for breath. I'm going to have to use a C-PAP machine when I sleep from now on.
My friend, it's really not that big a deal! There are hundreds of different kinds of units - just get a good person to help you get fitted right. And keep trying until you get one that's comfortable. My wife even had a custom, soft cotton "harness" sewed up so that it fit her perfectly without the elastic of the commercial ones.
Wearing CPAP at night has LITERALLY changed people's lives that I know!
