ResMed is the way to go. Airsense mentioned above is one of their products. They also have a mini version that was released at MedTrade that makes it easy to travel with. It was named most innovative product in sleep category.
I worked for ResMed. Go with theM. The travel product nick speaks of is the air mini. It’s meant for business travelers at this point but it blows away the respironics unit as well as 3B.
5"11" 178 lbs. Guess I'll have to lose more. Thanks for the other advice on ResMed.
weight loss is not the answer for everyone - it is for obstructive sleep apnea in some cases, but a small percentage of people have Central Sleep apnea where there is a disruption in the brain as it pertains to breathing. If CPAP isn't your thing, there are many new dental appliances out there as well - data/review is still mixed on them. In my practice, I've seen benefits for some and not others. Not sure they're any less uncomfortable than a CPAP though. Good luck.
Ignorant how? The vast majority of sleep apnea is caused by being overweight and abundant tissue growth in the anterior compartments of the neck.
If you’re an adult and develop OSA, it’s most likely weight related. There are exceptions but they are exactly that, exceptions.
I’m assuming we’re not discussing central sleep apnea. Pediatric sleep apnea can be caused by tonsillar hypertrophy. But your lymphoid tissue regresses with age and adults don’t typically have enlarged tonsils.
I'm looking for the sexiest one. One that really turns on the ladies
Ignorant how? You know nothing about the guy and assume it’s weight realated. You said yourself the vast majority are weight related but it isn’t always the case. How could you even begin to know his situation. My dad has had apnea for 10 years and has always been in the best shape.
Sorry you’re so offended.
My initial comment was mostly in jest but also true for most.

I have had this since high school and I am early 50s now. My snoring was legendary and scared the crap out of people when they thought I stopped breathing (which I had). I only started on cpap about 10 years ago. Life changing for me.
I would love some advice and where and what to buy. I travel all the time for sales and would love to take mine with me
Is there a way to try out the airsense 10 without buying it. In other words I would like to see if works at all for me before I spend money on something that does not help me.
