My name is Brit, and I have sleep apnea and what we found out is when we did a sleep study that my concentration levels dropped, and I’ll stop breathing in the middle of the night, and then I’ll start breathing again. And so being on both oxygen initially was a controlled oxygen concentration but I’ve since elevated to the CPAP. Even on oxygen, I was still having a breathing differential occur, and so I got in the c pap to balance things out.
The first time I used it, it was amazing. The next morning I woke up I was full of energy I couldn’t believe the difference in quality of how I felt the next morning after using oxygen, and I could tell I felt so much better in the morning. I mean just tremendous difference in quality of just feeling and I don’t know how else to describe that. Honestly, I felt so good, and I’ve said this more than once. I think everybody should be on oxygen at night. If they knew how much better you’d feel the next morning, you might be on oxygen. It’s a profound difference.
Today I came in for a full face mask for my CPAP. I’ve found I’ve been breathing through my nose, but I’m opening my mouth during the process and thus not allowing the pressure to back build pressure to get the air into my lungs and open things up, so right now it’s just going into my nose and out my mouth, and that’s not how its supposed to work. It’s supposed to have constant pressure to open everything up, so it’s amazingly comfortable. I didn’t notice it hardly at all because I went from the cannula in your nose to the full mask or the nose mask CPAP and I didn’t have trouble sleeping at all. It was really comfortable it was soft, headgear felt fine. Some nights I’d actually in my sleep take it off unknowingly I’d wake up reach down in the dark slip it back on, and it wasn’t really as difficult. They look cumbersome and bulky, but they aren’t where you’re sleeping.
You’ll be amazed at how much difference it’ll make in your quality of life. We’ll get one right on this rock. And every day goes its a day you missed if you don’t have a higher quality experience in life. My experience with working with Oxygen Concentrator Store has been phenomenal; it’s been fantastic.
