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?

A horrible year on Cpap
Hates Apap, which I do better on, and wants me on
CPap
. Keeps telling me I am fine. Wake up with headache, stuffy nose when using machine, feel like a can of busted biscuits in the morning. Waking BP is 185/108. Am on 3 different BP meds. I know the apnea/
Cpap
is raising night time BP.

insomnia 10 hours in 4 days
One of those is sleep apnea, which I wear a
CPAP
machine for. However the past 6 months I’ve had horrific insomnia! I’m talking it’s so bad I’m getting about 4 hours in every 24! I honestly don’t know what to do anymore, I’m so tired I feel physically sick!

Diagnosed with Sleep Apnea
Hi I wondered if you could get a
CPAP
privately rather than waiting on the NHS? I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and been told I would benefit from a
CPAP
machine. The wait is a long one! Can you buy one yourself? Set it up? Etc...?

CPAP first time user - your experience please, 4G etc
I picked up a Resmed
CPAP
machine with a nasal only mask yesterday from our local Guildford (Surrey) NHS hospital to hopefully remove my mild sleep apnoea and stop me waking around 3 times every night. Any comments on member's experience would be appreciated.

Immunocompromised?
I use
CPAP
…. do I need to sterilize it more frequently? Change my linens more frequently… alter my diet… avoid sick people…? I hope that everyone has a nice day and enjoys a cheerful holiday season. Thanks. D

Restless sleep
He wears a
CPAP
mask but cannot always tolerate wearing it so pulls it off, something he would never do. All of this is affecting his energy levels as well as mine as he is very tired throughout the day.

Link between Severe Sleep Apnea & Back Pain?
If so, after starting
CPAP
therapy, did all 3 of their things improve drastically?

PIP change of circumstances
I’ve now become worse with symptoms and mobility and have now acquired severe sleep apnea with
CPAP
therapy machine. I was awarded 10 & 10 points in Sept 2023. I wrote a letter to PIP and explained the change in circumstances.

Sleep Apnea and afib
I had given the
cpap
machines a good try; and I simply could not adjust to them. What other answers are there to this problem? I can't even imagine sleeping in a recliner chair for the rest of my life !!

Ablation question
Difference this time I’m on
cpap
and ranolazine so maybe that’s why it lasted slightly longer also weight loss healthy eating exercise etc. Feel so annoyed with myself I just went for a slow 20 min walk nothing strenuous came back and it had reverted back to AF.

CPAP Machines and Chest Infections
However, yesterday I gave everything a clean and had a look inside the
CPAP
unit where I found a patch of mold on one of the rubber couplings. Has anyone else ever had a chest infection from their
CPAP
machine? Any tips on keeping it clean?

Afib, sleep apnea and diverticulitis from aerophagia
I have been using
cpap
and bipap machines for some years for the apnea, and have a problem of swallowing air (aerophagia). Before the improvements in
cpap
technology, I would wake up after a few hours with intestinal gas pains.

Just looking for help like most of you.
My wife confirms this and it shows up in the flow rate pattern recorded on my
CPAP
machine. When I review my
CPAP
report each morning, it usually indicates I had a great night of sleep with little or no breathing problems, but I feel tired most of the day.
