Cpap Bestie and having a cold

​Last weekend of May was busy.

Well all of Maycember was busy. With my birthday starting out in May then kids end of year activities and going to graduation parties. So Monday I woke up with a scratchy throat my energy was good just scratchy. I was able to tape my mouth at night up until Wednesday. Thursday I woke up a bit fatigued but still lifted weights before work and worked. As the day went on I was feeling it. I could not breather out of my nostrils 👃. Had sinus pressure. So I tried to tape my mouth but I could not breath with the Cpap. So Thursday and Friday night I slept without it and I’m waking up two or three times a night due to desert mouth. I have my water bottle beside me so I have to stop the machine and unhook myself to take a sip. I’m going to rest this weekend. Everyone says I smell like Vicks but I can’t smell it. It was also our 16 th year anniversary yesterday but since I couldn’t smell anything we didn’t do anything

12 days with my CPAP Bestie

Image
 I am starting this blog to track my journey with my CPAP Bestie in real time.  First night with her was on April 2, 2026. Last night till this morning OMG so many freaking air leaks.  I would wake up with gush of air on my face so loud.  Dry desert dry mouth, unclipping the sides of the face mask to drink some water that spilled, cause its dark. I'll post my screen shots. This is the second time there have been some air leaks and I dont know why. I woke up at 430 so I can finish up my charting from the patients I saw yesterday.  I feel good no fog having my two cups of coffee but just little irritated waking up three times due to the air leaks and adjusting my face mask while trying to get back to sleep. I also  needed to pee twice in the middle of the night. SO not a good time with my CPAP Bestie last night. Let see what my app says tomorrow.  April 13 due to dry mouth adjusted the temp but last night went back to automatic April 12 April 11 April 10...

Day 13

​📆 Day 13 💤 6 hours  ⚡️10 📝 last night I woke up like three to four times. Either from air gushing on my face forcefully or hearing an air leak. It’s very frustrating then I had to pee. I had a hard time waking up I did press snooze. My energy level was still at a 10. I did call the place I received my CPAP and the lady on the phone asked me to try to go down on the humidity cause my mouth was so dry again as well. I had to unclip my mask to sip some water. She made me an appointment on the 29th to try a different mask with a chin strap. I’m gonna order some mouth tape. I think maybe my mouth opens and the pressure changes. Also I change positions and it shift my mask. I mean when it’s good it’s good but the last three nights knowing that it can be good but having things like this happen it’s  frustrating. I hate that sad face and than 7.9 number. My AHI score was 53 with 229 events in four hours. Alright praying tonight is better.

 ​ 🗓️ Day 21 💤 6 hours 18 minutes ⚡️10 📉 Events 0.9 YAY! I am really going to start on getting seven hours of sleep consistently and then eight hours. I felt great today. I was looking at pictures of myself in February I look rough. I took my sixth shot of Zepbound last night. I finally hit my protein macros yesterday. I increased my Magnesium Glycinate to 360 mg last night was taking 240 mg. I'm happy about this. There are times where the mouth tape does make me feel claustrophobic and I try to keep my mental game right in the middle of the night when I wake up because of it. I feel good. Below are the wipes I bought and started using last night. When I put my mask on the nasal part did not smell right. So I let it air dry for a bit. I also do these blogs before bed so that gets into my sleep time. Need to do it first thing in the morning. Weight has dropped a bit. Its leg day today gonna increase the weight on the bulgarian lunges. Right now I'm at 30 pounds for two sets o...
