I have been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea.

it’s ok if it looks like a moustache as this is for your health and no one will look and laugh when you’re asleep.

The test result said mine is under severe category and I was asked to buy a cpac machine to pump pressurized air inside when sleeping. But i don’t think so I want it.

either that (pic below) or you have difficulty getting air through your lungs when sleeping face up. you need a sleeping partner to check on your breathing every 69 seconds; otherwise can lose oxygin and suffer brain damage. :eek:

The one selling the machine said the pressurized air may make acid reflux worse as the air may go into stomach.

you have 2 issues affecting your health simultaneously. severe sleep apnea is more serious than acid reflux. must pick one over the other first. for acid reflux, you need to worry about gas in your stomach damaging your esophagus as your esophageal valve weakens with age. air going in is less acidic than the gas cumming out. get treated with either omeprazole or pantoprazole capsules, one capsule a day, for your acid reflux. also, as i've mentioned before, get a breath test done for presence of helicobacter pylori in your gi tract, especially lower stomach near the duodenum. sinkies (and asians in general) are infected with h. pylori (due to the diet and food they eat), and they don't know about it thinking it's just gerd or acid reflux until too late. it can cause stomach cancer. :eek:

Were you hospitalized from Saturday until yesterday (Sunday)? :eek:

Do you mean:

a form of:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_Airway_Pressure (PAP) ;)

But i don’t think so I want it.
But since you need it, why do you not want it? :confused:
Is it because you can't afford it, even though its average price is only roughly S$1,000:

or is it because even though you can afford it, you still prefer to be stingy? :o-o:
Or is it because it reminds you of the:
