Sleep apnea CPAP treatment not effective?
Hi there, I have been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I am a 27 year old male, and obese.I was wondering if it is possible for CPAP/APAP treatment to be ineffective? My GP and specialist tell me that the machine says everything is working fine and I'm breathing Apap cpap normally, however I still experience most of my apnea symptoms and I notice a huge difference of quality of sleep based on which position I sleep in, just like before I started treatment. Lying on my back is the worst, side is ok, and stomach seems best. Just like the overnight sleep test indicated without the CPAP.Is it possible that my treatment is not 100% effective, and that I still suffer apnea, despite the computer saying I breath normally? I had 115,7 breathing pauses per hour (extreme). That's like two per minute. Is it possible my body is "cheating" the machine?Thanks so much!
