Issues with my CPAP treatment and my solutions.

I have been treated for sleep apnea for a long time. Recently I have got a new machine and my incidents per hour have gone up a lot and my mask isn't sealing. 

So I have been evaluating myself over the past two weeks and this is what I think is the problem. 


I. Problems

  1. Sleeping on my back consistently

  2. Can’t sleep on side because of shoulder going to sleep (circulation) Waking up with discomfort

  3. Stress, my unsteady financial situation. 

  4. nasal congestion

  5. Lack of exercise

  6. Cleanliness of this old house. There is something here aggravating my sinuses at times.

  7. Need to lose more weight


II. Solutions (issues)


  1. nasal decongestant, get a decongestant that consistently works and use it regularly.

  2. clearing sinuses with saline

  3. Sleeping on my side, have to solve shoulder issues

  4. Planning walks and yard work consistently, have to make time regardless of financial situation.

  5. Find the time to clean or get someone to help.

  6. Get a full face mask to solve the mask sealing issue. 


This is my initial thoughts. Some of these items I can handle myself others I might need some kind of help. It will be limited because I can't afford to pay anyone. for cleaning, and yard work, without solving the financial stability issue first.
