Why cant i buy one without a prescription? The shite is stupid af.
The DME is not allowed to sell a device without Dr’s orders after a sleep study.
There can be side effects from a cpap device everywhere from gastric distention to possibly barotrauma from pressures.. It also causes a decrease in venous return, so it can cause issues for pt’s with hypotension.
It’s not like cold medicine.

need to catch up on the technology. the new machines do not have a set pressure as did the classic cpap. Much safer to avoid over and under treating.
Do you work at the same location as greygoose?

So from what I’m gathering, it’s like a prescription strength flesh light that snoring dudes strap on their face?

For my cpap, the pulmonologist wrote a prescription for an auto titrating CPAP with a specific range of pressure.
After using it a few months, I decided to increase the minimum pressure to what my average pressure was. Found the instructions on the internet. A few weeks later I started experiencing vertigo.
It took me a couple weeks to realize that it was due to increased CPAP pressure and was messing with my inner ear. So yeah, these aren't toys and can cause harm if not used properly.
