Had sleep test Friday. Nurse tried to fit CPAP mask. The air flow would not allow me to catch a breath. I could not allow mask to remain on my face due to the air flow. There was no way I could breathe through my nose with that pressure! I went home that morning. Is that It? Why couldn't they turn the pressure down, until I fell asleep? Then they could have tried ramping it up until I either woke up and tore it off or my apnea ceased? It seems to me they didn't do a whole lot of anything, except to tell me I "snored"! What do I do now?
