Question by unwonted: For those who can’t tolerate the CPAP machine has anyone had success with any other…?
…anti-snoring devices?
Hi, I have a CPAP machine for a mile case of sleep apnea but it isn’t very comfortable. I’m wondering if anyone would recommend any of the other devices available such as a mouthpiece, chin strap, special pillow, or any other device or method you may have tried? Thanks

It is permanently vital to follow the directions of your physician – some types and degrees of sleep apnea can be helped with other devices than the CPAP machine but if you were prescribed the machine, it is doubtless because not anything will quite do the trick.

I have tried all of the items you suggested and eventually they did not work satisfactorily to help me to continue to breathe at night.

I know that the CPAP isnt the most comfortable piece of equipment, but you do get used to it (we are very adaptable, we humans) and for me, it has given me the best sleep ever in my life.

I would clearly see if your physician thinks you can make the substitutions.

Isn’t it something like “CPEP” or C-pep? I want to check them out and need the exact spelling.
Thanks.
