Do you suffer from sleep apnea? If so, you know what a frightening experience it can be to wake up feeling like you’ve been holding your breath. Many folks use a CPAP (continuous pressure airflow pressure) device, which uses a light amount of continuous air pressure to keep your breathing passage open.
Certainly, a CPAP does take some getting used to. Wearing a mask on your face can take some getting used to, which is to say nothing about having air constantly blown down your windpipe. Of course, compared to the frustrations and downright scariness of sleep apnea, this can be an acceptable trade. Also consider that sleep apnea can be caused by obesity, and that weight loss can be part of your sleep apnea treatment.
