Answer: I was provided a CPap mask that was paid for by Medicare (their 80% worth, then my supplemental insurance paid other 20%). Personally, I never could quite get used to it, as I still woke up NUMEROUS times during the night, as usual. Also it made me feel a bit clostophoebic as well.I was advised to continue to try it, and if you don't like one particular mask, the company that supplies it can bring you another to try. Remember that we who have sleep apnea are in danger of DEATH when we actually stop breathing while we sleep.So I would sugget you at least give it a try, and if that particular one does not feel comfy, get another and keep trying......
