Sleep Apnea folks on CPAP,...Have you observed a relationship between your overnight AHI and your burden of Ectopics and/or Afib the next day? I have mild/borderline Sleep Apnea, apparently only while on my back. I am limited to a pressure of 6.5 due to severe Aerophagia (Swallowing air/gas). I've

My Dad is fighting Covid on a ventilator
Hi, I hope you can help me. I am really struggling now, I miss my Dad so much. He was admitted to hospital in January 8th and has been on a ventilator since the 11th. He has contracted pneumonia twice and managed to fight it off both times. He had 2 mild heart attacks, one of which required a stent.

Skin problems
I have lost weight since the auto immune and kidney problem and the dialysis has made my skin loose, dry and dehydrated. I'm all crinkly with no collagen present. I use organic coconut oil in the bath and a thick body cream, but nothing appears to make my skin look how it was. Any suggestions?

No Sleep Thanks to Afib
Hi Folks, Just wondering what I can do about my increasing sleep deprivation and anxiety about afib. I was diagnosed in 2017 after hyperthyroidism pushed me into Afib. In 2019 I had 3 carioversions including two a week apart. In both instances I woke up middle of night heart racing and it became Afib

Obstructive Sleep Aonoea or not?
Hello I have seen other posts on here that suggests people with mild obstructive sleep apnoea can be provided with CPAP.

Dialysis and/or Donor's List
My GFR is at 20 and the creatinine is around 2.49. I am wondering is my gfr going to drop faster now that I'm closer to dialysis, or will it continue to drop at the same rate? And for the people who got a donor kidney, how has that been for you? I'm trying to decide if I want to be on the list. I need
