Hi! I have sleep apnea too but I don’t use a cpap machine as having a severe phobia of wearing a mask. Do you know of any useful treatment without cpap? I am a mouth breather so just a nose piece wouldn’t do it.

sorry no I have no idea but it’s worth persevering with the mask, I don’t even notice I have it on anymore.
