What is the best CPAP machine to buy?

Hey everyone,

I have always snored; for 30 years. My wife suggested doing a check-up, but I don't care about it. The last six months, all of a sudden, I was exhausted during the day, and I don't understand the reason for the sudden change.

Finally, I did a sleep test, and the results show that I have extreme sleep apnea, with over 80 events per hour and oxygen levels dropping to 64%.

This was the reason why I cannot function well during the day. The doctor suggested me to use CPAP machines and I did some online search and found this company offering CPAP machines(cpapoutlet.ca/en/Machines).

What is the best CPAP machine to buy? How much does it cost for a CPAP machine?

Thanks in advance!!

Check with a local cpap seller. Getting the right mask is the issue. A machine is a machine. Avoid the complex ones with all the bells and whistles. Normally a doctor provides you with a prescription for a cpap with instructions. Follow these instructions instead figuring out yourself.

Best wishes.

You will love how you feel once you get adjusted to using the CPAP machine. I really hated it the first two weeks but I kept with it and I'm so glad I did and I tried several masks before I found one that work best for me. I have an auto CPAP by Phillips I believe it's a dream station.

I recently went through the same process but ended up hiring one through a contact at the doctors surgery, but they are not cheap....I paid around £75 per month but couldn't get on with it, so sent it back after 3 months.....the buy the same machine (phillips) is around £1200.
