Hi Pete (and the moderators)!
Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to make a post asking divers who have sleep apnea what mask they use on their CPAP machines. (I saw on another forum that you use one, too.) I'm just starting with the CPAP and I have a "nose mask" (mouth not covered) and I'm having real difficulties adjusting. I'm wondering if it's because as a diver, I instinctively breathe through my mouth. And so I'm curious to know if other divers prefer the full face mask that covers the nose and mouth.
Anyway, I thought I would post it in the medical forum, but I can't find it. Didn't there used to be a medical forum or am I dreaming?
Thanks!
Trish
