Still tired after three months

Posted by JaxTired on March 19, 2002 at 07:01:06:

I've been using CPAP for almost three months. (Moderate severe sleep apnea CPAP h2o setting 9.) After three nasal masks that put a permanent scar on the bridge of my nose I have finally got Sandmans headgear with nose pillows to work for me. I have to sleep on my back at night or else I get terrible gas buidup in my stomach. Tried elevated bed for the air in stomach that just seems to help a little. I seem to only get a good nights sleep every third day. I'm active duty military so the ENT doctor doesn't even what a sleep doc is. Looking for some help!
