Cpep machine

[Littlecook]

I was wondering how many of you manage to use your machine if got a cold and cough?

Hiya

I have a lot more problems but with v severe apnea (90 times in an hour) I have to use my machine even for daytime naps. With bronchiectasis it's also important but some days I just can't but I always try for a bit as sometimes I get a few hours

Now I've had a machine for many years it's easier with a cold/cough but the results of a night with a cough always show way more events as I guess it interprets a cough as an event

However many hours you can manage is one more hour with more oxygen getting into your lungs 💙🫂💙
