I can say how much more fresh I wake up every morning now.

I got put on CPAP in either 2013 or 2014 (I forget which, but I think 2014). I feel better rested after 4 hours on it than I do after 8 hours without it.

I wish I had gotten tested while still on Active Duty.

How come that face masks were not in use? Probably obvious answer, but curious.

Not sure what you mean. CPAP face mask, or what?

Considering how much shit can apnoea (basically short term asphyxiation) cause,

Yes, very true. I wish I'd gotten tested sooner. When I was on Active Duty and still in great shape, my blood pressure was high enough to raise concerns and have the medical people consistently threatening to put me on medication. I got on CPAP, and even though I was letting myself go (and getting fat, I'll admit), my blood pressure went down.

I probably would have had a heart attack before 40 had I never gotten on CPAP.

From your other reply:

I wouldn't just blame it on a soot in the sinuses

My living quarters were downwind from a massive burn pit. The trash burned there included plastics and other shit that produces toxic fumes. I spent a year breathing that shit.

My sinuses have been fucked up ever since, and have caused other health problems including IBS (swallowing the excess snot in my sleep) as well as the sleep apnea.

If something is blocked in a nose path then mouth opens

Yeah, like excess snot that my sinuses just won't stop producing!
