Titrated CPAP is a technique to assess Sleep Apnoea and to determine the pressure needed if you have it/
The CPAP bit is the machine to supply the air pressure to provide therapy
"Titrated" means the machine will monitor your breathing and adjust the CPAP pressure being delivered.
From what you have said it looks like they suspect you have Sleep Apnoea; this will confirm if you do, and determine the pressure you need to treat it if so. -
cheers for reply cant say am looking forward to it ive always been a snorer is it possible to have it mild or does needing a machine mean its severeComment

Once they confirm you if have it with the CPAP you can look at the options. Rhynil spray, or nasal strips may sort it for you, as may an MAD (Mandibular Advancement Device; sits on your teeth and pulls your jaw foreward).
If CPAP is the solution, it isn't as scary as you thinkComment
