I have a Philips,works awesome. Prior to getting mine,I would stop breathing 30 times an hour,always tired. See your family Dr. and they'll arrange a test for you👍
I have a ResMed bipap machine and it is excellent. These machines are why I am still alive.
Before you get a CPAP machine, go to your doctor and ask for a lung test. I get one every 6 months and they are not painful or difficult.

You will need to get tested so you are eligible for coverage on your extended medical (if you have it!).
I got my latest one through Snore No More -- they were great to deal with and got all the paperwork done to get mine updated and refunded.
If you're lucky you can use the nasal pillows (most comfortable) and if not, you will have other use a partial or full mask (not so comfortable).
They take a while to get used to, can cause CNS apnea (most sleep apnea is caused by obstructions like a soft palate, extra flesh in your neck or a deviated septum) but you can also develop a condition where it's your own brain that shuts off your breathing and that's hard to treat.

No, not really was curious. I did the test through a private company, kinda thought it might be like the plethora of adult with braces because of benefit plans. Every one doing the test needed a machine. Waited on the provincial plan and recieved the machine today. Will be doing a 21 day trial.
