I think they still fall in a medical grey area.  Unregulated but requiring a prescription to buy from a licensed vendor.  The whole scenario is still fairly immature both medically and at retail.

Industrial breast pumps don't have individual configurations determined by a doctor.  CPAPs do.  They don't just drop it on a random PSI and hope it works.

This is true, I have to go back for another sleep study once I get the equipment. They will find the correct PSI during this visit.

I believe they also sell them under the brand name Taser.  Give it a shot.

 My Grandmother was recently diagnosed with  Apnea as well.   Shes been using
one of those machines regularly now.

 
 I do not know if this will help...  and most people probably will not be willing to
put in the effort to even try this...  but here goes...


 You guys and gals may want to try a few alternative exercises.   One is
meditative breathing exercises.   By doing these specific exercises... your lung
capacity will increase... and your breath will be much deeper and powerful.
Its kinda hard to describe.

 I used to meditate every day,  2 times a day.    However, Ive taught only the
specialized breathing method to one of my private Kungfu students, and he
showed incredible results in only 2-3 months time (at 3 days a week, each
session lasting at least 5 min duration).
 
 As well as the breath exercise... Meditation may also help play a role... in that
it helps sync the brains left and right hemisphere.   It also works with the
subconscious mind,  as well as more attention and focus in the waking world.
(and possible side effects such as Intuition, Premonitions..etc)  It also
calms you and helps to greatly improve your moods.


 I will post the methods here a bit later.


 Give them a try.  Cant really lose/hurt  anything.

 
 Protokatie,  Nice Pic.   :)
