She had to to get put on the ventilator. She was getting better, got off of the ventilator and out of the ICU but

Feeling Sad
My beloved partner has been through the mill these past 5 weeks and I need some reassurance. He went in for elective surgery in a brain aneurysm, suffered a stroke during surgery, had two further surgeries for bleeds and clots and will be, tomorrow, two weeks out if an induced coma. He is my soul mate

Masks for Sleep Apnea
Good Morning everyone Need some advice. My husband was diagnosed 4 years ago with sleep apnea, along with PF. He was given a CPAP machine for night time along with an oxygen machine. Up until a few months ago all worked well, but for some unknown reason he appears to have become allergic to the mask

Central Hypothroyid & Sleep Apnea
My thyroid tests typically show normal T3/T4 and suppressed TSH, my latest tests: T3: 4.95 (2.63-5.69) T4: 14.65 (9-19) TSH*: 0.05 (0.27-4.2) * Note: my TSH is typically at this level but I have seen it get to normal level ~1 when T4/T3 drop close to lower range. I was also diagnosed with moderate sleep

Dealing with probable but undiagnosed sleep apnea
So I got sort of a diagnosis of benign fasciculation syndrome over a year and a half ago, and have been in misery since dealing with it all the time. It basically means random muscles around my body twitch sporadically, sometimes constantly, without stopping. I saw three neurologists and all of them

Snorepod (Jeeno Electronics)
Hi All, I came across an advert on instagram for Snorepod. Manufactured by Jeeno Electronics as an alternative to CPAP. Has anyone ever heard of this and even tried one?

Back pain
Hey my friends just checking to see if any of you have ever had RFA on you back? My pain management doctor wants to do that because other than pain meds there is nothing that can be done for my back. I saw a neurosurgeon and she did mri with contrast. She said that she would have to give me a whole

Do you know when you're having afib?
I had afib for six months before an ablation in November 2016. In October I'd started using a CPAP machine. I also have a Pacemaker for bradycardia; it keeps track of any afib episodes, and I've had none since the ablation. The question is whether I should stay on the Xeralto, blood thinner to counter

Covid-Two ambulance visits
On the 29th March, I called an ambulance to send my Dad to hospital. He’d been battling Covid for a week or so at home, but it had got progressively worse to the point he was struggling to breath. There was crackling in his chest and I noted his Sats had dropped. He battled in hospital on CPAP for

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and nightmares ... please help
My husband has Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), he has bad nightmares and 12 months ago also developed anxiety and PTSD. I recently read an article that says these 3 symptoms can be linked to OSA. Has anyone else come across this and is there any help to manage these symptoms as they affect his sleep

Are you Sleeping Peacefully?
I was suffering from breathing problems while sleeping. This use to put me in a terrible situation. When I consulted a doctor, and he asked me to wear a CPAP machine mask while sleeping. I did thorough research to find out companies that manufacture the CPAP machine mask of good quality. I was introduced

Can I use CPAP without sleep apnea?
Hey guys, So I have been a snorer since I can remember, sometimes quite loud. I often wake up very tired and have trouble waking up all night. I wanted to take the test, but I have a very high deductible, and I don't really want to spend money out of my pocket. However, I recorded myself sleeping

What is the best CPAP machine to buy?
Hey everyone, I have always snored; for 30 years. My wife suggested doing a check-up, but I don't care about it. The last six months, all of a sudden, I was exhausted during the day, and I don't understand the reason for the sudden change. Finally, I did a sleep test, and the results show that I have

How long does it take to decide if it’s ICU delirium or brain damage, after coming off the ventilator?
My mum spent 17 days ventilated for covid and pneumonia and potentially a secondary bacterial infection. She was on CPAP for 2 weeks before and managed at home for 2 weeks before that. She suffered some kidney damage (no dialysis) had brain swelling (PRES) and some seizures. They extubated her on Thursday
