Hello everyone,

I just joined this community. In 2015 I was diagnosed with Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome after a home sleep study. I then tried to use a CPAP and never was able to sleep with it on. I no longer have it. Last month I redid a home sleep study and now I'm diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I also have newly been diagnosed with hypertension and PVCs(heart palpitations). I know it's likely I will be given a CPAP again and I know they (and the masks) have improved so I'm hoping it goes better this time.
