Hello, I started cpap 7 days ago, probably night 3 I stayed at my girlfriends house and used my mouthguard (somnofit s), and then last night, night 6, I used the mouthguard again.

My issue is that whenever I use the cpap, I feel nauseous and have a headache all day, along with waking up extremely tired and disoriented.

My AHI was 50, but goes to under 2 according to the cpap. I also have severe gerd but that hasn't caused the nausea I feel with cpap.

Also, cervical degenerative disc disease, which i usually sleep on my stomach with head turned to the side to relieve my neck pain when sleeping. The cpap nose mask I use doesn't let me sleep in a way to relieve my neck pain.

The morning exhaustion and disorientation lasts like 3 hours after waking up.

The issue is I keep way better with the $150 mouthguard compared to the cpap, and don't have the side effects of the cpap. I know my AHI is probably higher with the mouthguard though.

I told my doctor and they just said I need to use it more, but the side effects are actually debilitating, and I'm wondering why they don't actually want to help and just push the machine.

Thinking of just giving it back and getting a MAD from the dentist. I was falling asleep during the day before any treatment, but with the mouth guard it seems to have fixed my issues and without the side effects of the cpap.

Any insights on this and my situation?

So I've been using the basic SnoreRx for 3 weeks now, and while it helps, the "lock system" that allows me to adjust it ends up moving at night. I set it at 3/6, and it readjusts to 1/6 when I wake up in the morning.

I plan to use cpap most of the time, but when traveling or on nights that I don't have my cpap, I need a good mouth guard to use.

I'm looking for a better alternative to SnoreRx that is just as effective but doesn't readjust during sleep (please no left field suggestions like "just always use cpap" or "don't use mouth guards")

Any suggestions on a good mouth guard that will stay "locked" or is preset position and just as if not more comfortable and effective as SnoreRx? Should I try the "plus" version?
