Name: Richard A. (52, Chandler, AZ)
Issue: Struggling with CPAP discomfort and sleeplessness after OSA diagnosis
Symptoms: Mask leaks, dry throat, anxiety before bed, waking up tired
Diagnosis & Challenges
Richard was diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea and prescribed CPAP therapy. However, he couldn’t sleep through the night due to mask discomfort, air leaks, and throat dryness. These issues made him consider quitting the therapy altogether.
Solution & Treatment Plan by Enticare Sleep Specialists

Activated ramp mode and added an integrated humidifier to ease breathing discomfort.
-
Set up a white noise machine and introduced a consistent bedtime routine with relaxation exercises.
-
Received weekly follow-ups and pressure adjustments based on feedback and data from the CPAP machine.
