Was tested for sleep apnea ... discovered I stopped breating 240 times per night plus 78 partial blocks. Gave me the mask and machine.

That said, I could not sleep with the mask, would always wake up in the middle of the night and freaked out as if I was suffocating - this is with the mask on - I'd pull it off then go back to sleep. Then tried it again, but the mask wound up not fitting properly, tried to go back to the medical outfit that set me up and the representative that I worked with kept blowing me off. Not helpful at all and she was a you know what.

So I stopped using it about three or four years ago and just do what I can. Still snore, but don't want to be tied down.

Will consider the surgery option, but not ready for that yet, but will seek it within the next year or so.
