CPAP stands for consistant positive airway pressure. It’s set at a point that won’t feel like it’s blowing in your airway, but will still keep your airway open. That being said, many people find the mask that fits around the face (while you’re asleep mind you) is extremely uncomfortable. However, it’s really the only good way to control sleep apnea, which kills seemingly healthy young-sih people every year. I have a cousin who lost her 26 year old son to sleep apnea – it’s devastating.
