Getting used to therapy
STEP 8
Breathe normally
When you use your machine
for the first time, remember
to breathe normally. Focus on
breathing in and out through
your nose only.
Pressure may feel
strange at first
It may feel easier than normal to
inhale, but harder than normal
to exhale. Take your time – even a
few minutes of breathing normally
with your machine will help you
relax and get used to your therapy.
If you find yourself struggling and
thinking about breathing, consider
deep meditation breathing as
this helps to increase relaxation.
Remember, you can stop and start
therapy at any time by using the
START/STOP button on the top
of your machine.
Check for leaks
Check for leaks and make any
necessary mask adjustments
before falling asleep. Adapting
to therapy takes time, so be
patient with yourself. The best
way to adjust to therapy is
to use your machine nightly.
