Definitely see a doctor first. While a CPAP machine can do wonders, it really only works for those who stop breathing. If you don’t stop breathing, it can actually do more harm to your sleep.
Especially if you know nothing about CPAP machines and your physician / pulmonologist select one for you and you get a Phillips one that turns out to rot from the inside and potentially send deadly material straight into your respiratory system.
I fully support CPAP use as recommended after a sleep study, but that was a poor investment by my insurance company.
edit: Though I guess if you get one without seeing your doctor first they won’t be selecting one for you.
CPAP, bitches, get it!
but first see a doctor, maybe your sleep quality is bad due to different factors
Stress, poverty, poor health, overwork, poor mental health…
Cpap doesn’t work for everyone, either. So don’t feel like a failure when it actually makes your sleep quality worse.
Narcolepsy here. CPAP is not helpful.

I’m one of the unlucky ones that the cpap doesn’t magically fix everything. 😢
Samesies. Though I’ve been rather inconsistent with my usage. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This mfer thinks we can afford a CPAP
My condolences, you must be American.
Hey, I’m am an American with a CPAP machine. I did get it when I was using that socialized medical world of the military though. 🤔
It did do wonders for my sleep too. I woke up much more refreshed.
