So here's the deal. I'm not diagnosed with sleep apnea nor am I a heavy snorer(spelling?) But I do have trouble breathing with my nose when I sleep. For what ever reason my right nostril is partially blocked. I say this because I cannot get a good amount of air flow through it compared to my left nostril. Here the thing though...if my head is tilted to the right the left nostril (the good one) for some reason isn't as good anymore. What I typically do is just turn my head to the left and my good nostril has complete function. So basically if I turn to the right as I sleep I'm getting terrible air flow. The only position where I can breathe no problem is if im on my back with my head to the left. I feel like I could potentially benefit from a CPAP machine but I'm not even sure I have sleep apnea.
One thing I know for sure is that I RARELY get a good sleep. I have pretty decent sleep hygiene but I wake up feeling like crap more often than not. There are times i do get good sleep and it's life altering but very rare for me sadly.
I realize a CPAP machine is for sleep apnea but would it be a good candidate?
