Many people have trouble adjusting to CPAP therapy, but there are ways for you to get back on track.
There are times when you may get frustrated with your CPAP therapy. In fact, many people stop their CPAP therapy at some point because they feel like it may not be working for them. This is especially common for new CPAP users who are having trouble adjusting to the changes that come with CPAP therapy and using a CPAP machine.
May is National Recommit Month, and CPAPCentral.com wants to bring you some tips to help you recommit to your CPAP. If you’ve stopped your CPAP therapy for any reason, now is the time to recommit, and these tips can help you do it.
Tip to Recommit: Strength in Numbers
There are millions of people in the United States that have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and that have undergone treatment using CPAP therapy. Do some research to see if there are any CPAP support groups in your area.
Tip to Recommit: Make Sure You’re Comfortable
One of the main reasons people stop their CPAP therapy is due to feeling uncomfortable. Whether it’s adjusting to the air that passes through your mouth and nose or getting used to sleeping with a mask on your face every night, treating sleep apnea will force you to change your sleeping habits. If a mask makes you feel uncomfortable, try some mask liners, mask strap pads or a CPAP pillow to help make you feel more comfortable as you sleep.
Tip to Recommit: A Clean CPAP is a Happy CPAP
Cleaning your CPAP machine and equipment is very important. If your equipment isn’t clean, neither is the air passing through it. If the air isn’t clean, you have an increased risk for getting sick, which may cause you to stop your therapy.
