I have sleep apnea and scared.

Hi everyone! Well I just found out I have sleep apnea. I guess this is bad and good news. If I have it then my ins. will approve me quicker but, it is not good for my health. I went to do the sleep study this past Saturday. Now I have to go next Sat. too, but I am scared right now because I don't want to sleep with a mask around my face. They are going to install the machine I think this week. Any body with sleep apnea? And does this mask help with sleeping better? Maria M.

I found out 1 1/2 yrs ago I have sleep apnea. I never thought I could sleep with that mask either. But you do get use to it and now I cannot sleep without it and I feel better when I wake up. Hope this helps
