Cpap and bronchiestasis
hi I have bronchiestasis and severe sleep apnea and I'm just wondering if anyone else suffers from both and have they felt any benefit with a
cpap
machine during the night I've only just started the
cpap
therapy Thanks

CPAP machine
Hi all I have sleep apnoea, which means I have to wear a mask all night (pumping air in, to avoid constant 'wake ups' ), but unsure if this is causing more problems with the glaucoma, as waking up with tearful eyes. Does anyone else have this problem ~ is mask & straps making the situation worse ?

CPAP & Migraine- update
I have never felt this type of headache so I know it is related to using the
CPAP
. They were going to have me try a front mask, but those have plugs that go into your nose. I can barely tolerate the over the head mask. The pounding headache are 3-4 x a week.

The struggle is real.
I think my insomnia has to do with sleep apnea for which I have
Cpap
. The insomnia sets off my anxiety. I'm trying so hard not to worry about everything but it's hard when you don't sleep.

AF triggered by sleep apnea
It's been a long journey to this point and since I've been using the
CPAP
machine at night I've most recently gone 25 days without an AF episode -- the longest period so far this year for me.

CPAP machine waiting time
hi Any experience of how long the wait is to have a
CPAP
machine on NHS? I only have mild apnea as only stop breathing 14 times a night but I would welcome anything that may avoid this / improve my sleep. I had overnight sleep test and day nap test.

Since, being diagnosed I have monitored the use of
cpap
vs nasal breathing. I get more deep sleep with nasal breathing and there are health benefits of breathing in nitric oxide while you sleep. I use surgical tape to cover up the mouth.

I am very new and, so far, everyone has been very kind. Anyone else have trouble sleeping?
I have a
CPAP
machine because my doctor says I have sleep apnea. I also have a sound machine and a fan going, but I still worry the whole night and cannot sleep. Does this happen to anyone else and what do you do to fix it?

Low blood oxygen at night despite using CPAP
Is the
CPAP
actually doing anything for me? Is it distracting doctors from a different issue? With regards to the watch, I've no doubt it may not be perfectly accurate, but surely the trends can't be ignored? 🤷 Any thoughts will be super appreciated 🙏 Thanks, Chris

He said get a

cpap

Congestion and not the traffic kind!
I've used a
cpap
machine as I have sleep apnoea diagnosed in 2016. Just wanted to ask if anyone has had similar issues with horrible cough and congestion/phlegm whilst using their
cpap
machine in case theres a link between
cpap
machine use?

Oxygen therapy
How does it work with a
CPAP
mask? Is it phased in as to be rid of the impurities already in my lungs. The pneumonia I had caused some damage in one lung, is that permanent?

Getting No Help and feeling desperate
Being waiting months for a
CPAP
machine but now my doctor wants me to do another sleep study. I have been using kratom for years but now it's not really working for me and am close to packing it all in.

Home Oxygen Therapy
I was discharged with a
CPAP
machine for OSA and prescribed 1l of oxygen at night whilst in the mask. I also have an oxygen condenser which provides 5l of oxygen when exercising or walking short distances. My question I suppose is if people have received these, do they eventually wean off?

Sleep issues
If it is recommended that my wife needs a
CPAP
machine, which she is not keen on using, can anyone tell me if they have been in a similar situation and did a
CPAP
machine have any benefit? Did it stop the daytime sleeping?
