For those who can’t tolerate the CPAP machine has anyone had success with any other…?
…anti-snoring devices?
Hi, I have a CPAP machine for a mile case of sleep apnea but it isn’t very comfortable. I’m wondering if anyone would recommend any of the other devices available such as a mouthpiece, chin strap, special pillow, or any other device or method you may have tried? Thanks
you can start to investigate. But definitely talk to your primary care doc, and anyone who would have been involved with your original sleep study. There are different reasons for apnea so narrowing that down, would help you narrow down your best alternative/s.

One thing for sure, though is to remember that sleep apnea is a potentially LIFE THREATENING condition, and NOT ‘just snoring’.
best of luck!
