Good luck. I am going for sleep apnea diagnosis tomorrow. Will they also measure how much sleep you get using the cpap machine to compare before and after? I hope it helps. Were you given a choice of treatments for sleep apnea and chose the cpap? Or did they say you had to have the cpap, and gave no choices? I'm very curious because this may be my future too. I just don't know if I can sleep with a mask over my face and a machine next to me. Are you able to do it?
