Co2 retainers

[sinclair61]

I know morning headaches are a symptom of night time but what symptoms do people get if it happens during the day?

Hi there, I sometimes start to feel very tired all of a sudden. I start moving around a little more until I feel it’s starting to pass. Take care and have a great weekend.

Obviously there can be many reasons for daytime headaches but from a Pulmonary point of view it could be inadequate oxygen intake or C02 retention.

Discuss this with your Doctor and any other symptoms you might which generate headaches.

Wot Benji08 said.

I've lived with HP/ILD/PF since 2008, but in 2016 I started getting the bad headaches. I did nothing about the headaches except brufen/aspirin/paracetomol until I ended up in hospital hurting and confused after returning home from a holiday to the USA.

My diagnosis was adjusted to include HyperCapnic PF. I was put on overnight ventilation using a VPAP machine linked to a homefill O2 concentrator, after a few adjustments the headaches have pretty much stopped, and I'm thinking clearly now.

Get it sorted now, it puts a strain on your organs that a person with a lung complaint doesn't need. O2 starvation and CO2 retention combined will take you down biggly (™ Donald Trump)
