info on apnea

[catnip]

I went through the fun of a sleep study last night. Before they turned me loose this morning i was told that i have apnea. Of course my next question was jokingly how loud did i snore, to which i was told i do not snore, i just stop breathing. Now i am NOT looking for advice, i will let the sleep doctor handle that when i talk to him on monday, what i am looking for is a good source of info on apnea without snoring. I can find snippets here and there but nothing that i have found really usefull. So i am asking for any good web sites that i can look into to better inform myself for when i do speak with the doctor. Any help is appreciated!:typing

If you find you are having difficulty with compliance with the CPAP mask don't give up. There are SOOOOO many options out there for alternative appliances. In addition, BiPap is often better tolerated if your doc feels it is indicated. Do a little research before you commit to a mask. Insurance companies don't like paying for 3-4 masks for you try them out. Often if you find an appliance that looks like it will suit you, your medical equipment provider may be able to order it even if it isn't part of thier usual stock.
