I am a severe patient with AHI67.2. After wearing CPAP for one night in the hospital, the data shows AHI8.1 and I feel not bad while sleeping. However, I do not like to feel of wearing a mask because I can still breathe by myself and can breathe through my nose, why do I need CPAP? Why do I need being passive and be forced by this “BIG MONSTER”?
One day, a friend of mine introduces me iNAP and luckily, I have this chance to experience it. During these experienced weeks of wearing iNAP and with Oximeter, the data shows improved, but the effect and the data are not perfect compare with CPAP. Also, since I used to breathe with mouth opened, so the oral interface device may come off easily while using, which makes the treatment sealing percntage is between 40% to 60% only.
Even if you pinch my neck and beg me to use CPAP, I still do not want to wear it. Therefore, I think I should buy iNAP first and then use it seriously.
After regular follow-up for almost eight months, and wear with the new upgrade oral interface device, my treatment sealing percentage is improved, and keeps at least 80% (previous data was during 40%-60%), which means that the treatment time is more than 80%, and the value of ODI is decrease to 11 from 40. From my point of view, I don’t pursue the perfection of the treatment effect, but I agree to the comfort and compliance is very good by wearing iNAP for a long time.
