Sleep Apnea… how soon can I expect to feel better, and just what will ‘feel better’ feel like?

I’ve recently been diagnosed with sleep apnea; the full diagnosis was “obstructive, central, and mixed ” I’ve been prescribed a CPAP, w/ full mask (CFlex). Guess my question is.. how soon can I expect to feel better, and just what will ‘feel better’ feel like? evidently i’ve had this for quite some time, and would appreciate hearing from someone with personal experience of treatment for same.
Thanx~

It takes time. Your body is used to running on empty so to speak and it has to readjust to being normal. Use the CPAP nightly as prescribed and hopefully you’ll see effects soon. If after a month you see no change in how you feel (less tired, etc) call your home care company for a follow up (which they should be calling you regularly anyway, be honest when you talk to them) Sometimes the pressure isn’t right the mask isnt right for the person and alot of patients hate c-flex from my experience. Sometimes turning that off helps.
