Do they force air in? Wouldn’t that be super uncomfortable
In: Biology
I just want to add that CPAP machines aren’t always a fixed pressure. Mine ramps up or down based on whether I’m breathing or not. It’s customisable, starts at 4psi and ramps up to 12 (if needed.) I can hear it increase the pressure if I hold my breath. Additionally, mine backs off a little as you take a breath to make exhaling easier.
In terms of comfort, I can’t sleep without it. Because I can feel my airways collapsing if I sleep somewhere and didn’t take my machine with me. The more difficult part to get used to was not getting the hose wrapped around my neck as I tossed and turned, or not yanking it suddenly because it got stuck. I’ve actually knocked my machine over a few times doing that. And given it has a humidifier filled with water, that’s not good for it lol.
