I received extremely poor education on its use…. About 20 to 30 minutes tops.
What I am requesting is advice on a new medical practice who will help me and reeducate in Cpap use.
Currently, I am with Ocala Lung and they keep scheduling me and then canceling appointments. This has happened twice this month.
Any suggestions for a new medical practice?
Thank you
I had real problems with CPAP, changed to a BiPAP, much better solution for me. I also use the dreamware mask that the hose comes in on top of the head. Nasal pillows for me with heated humidity. In my opinion, The clincher was BiPAP. With BiPAP it's less forceful air and I'm able to breathe fairly normally. Good luck
