Just diagnosed with severe sleep apnea

Well they did the sleep study before diagnosing it. But yes, I snore loudly, jerk awake often, wake up with headaches and always seem to be tired. If this cpap works, I'll be a happy camper :)

Occasionally I will doze on the couch, and when I do I usually wake up with a headache after even only 10 minutes. That's not good.

I go Wednesday to the place that will fit me with a mask and give me the machine. I'm hoping for one like you have pictured. I heard they are better for side sleepers, which I am, plus I really really don't want a full face mask! I don't think I could deal with that very well as I'm a bit claustrophobic.

I've been hearing a lot of good experiences, so I admit I'm now looking forward to it and feeling better :)

I'm a side sleeper and I use a full face mask. I kept opening my mouth with a nasal mask. A face mask is not recommended for side sleepers, but I've worked it out. It *can* be done, it just isn't done by many.
