I had a take home sleep study a few months ago, and the study showed that I stopped breathing 89 times an hour. I am now on a long waitlist for a ResMed CPAP machine, because the specialist wrote "prescribe as written." I honestly can't wait to finally get the CPAP, as I am constantly tired, which has caused high blood pressure and exacerbates anxiety that I mostly had under control through medication (which is why I originally sent to get a sleep study).
Call your doctor's office, tell them that all CPAPs are currently facing major supply shortages. Get them to reissue the Rx for "*pap machine capable of range [x-y]mmH20". It should be ready by the end of the day.
Then go buy anything you can. If you're a mouthbreather at night, get a full face mask and a humidifier.
