i have been diagnosed with
sleep apnea.....overall,mild obstructive
apnea,becoming severe in rem sleep with mild oxygen desaturation.I used a nose prong (resimed) for three weeks no problems at all,then developed dermatitus in and below my nose,sore and unsightly.I tried a mouth splint ,with lots of adjustments,had facial and ear pain.My doctor advised perservering with c-pap,but also adding the apnea was not bad....total rdi=12.1/hr.I am going on a cruise next week,and I am worried.
