Experiences with

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)

Is it possible that CPAP may improve PD symptoms?

Has anyone found a CPAP machine which helped with the restless legs syndrome? Thanks!

Anyone else have such problems with a Cpap?

How have you solved the problem of nasal congestion from your cpap?

Newly diagnosed Parkinsons, tremor since 2018. neurologist says that sleep apnea machine is very important after my sleep study does anyone have examples of disease progression being slowed or any symptoms being relieved by moving to a sleep apnea machine?

I haven’t followed up since my last post about my CPAP experience. I have been reading your posts though and continually hope you all find answers. If you remember, using a CPAP increased my apnea events significantly and left me sleep deprived to the point I couldn’t even walk.

I am wondering if anyone has had experience with Travel Cpap machines with battery, looking in UK recommendations would be amazing 😊

Please tell me your experience using the cpap .

The CPAP is uncomfortable but I do think it would help my heart but I cannot sleep with it . I am still waiting to see a cardiologist and have no idea what is happening there either and cannot find out anything

She was breathing on the CPAP setting, pressure 8, oxygen at 35% down from yesterday which was 40%. She was able to tolerate that for about 6 hours but then she looked pretty exhausted and they switched the CPAP mode off.

I also suffer from sleep apnoea, so I was wondering if it was ok to use my CPAP machine during the test, after reading the restrictions on electronics.

Recently I also found that using a CPAP helps as well.

Last night was the best 10 hour sleep I have had since using my cpap machine but still very tired , I felt more comfortable using it specially the full mask not to tight just right hopefully I can continue getting the sleep I need.

This includes what OSA is, how it’s diagnosed and treated, CPAP machines, and the Epworth sleepiness scale page https://www.asthmaandlung.org.uk/conditions/obstructive-sleep-apnoea-osa

I recently started a trial for a CPAP, and I am three weeks in. So far it is helping me sleep, but I am having trouble tolerating the chest pain it gives me. Is this normal? I talk to t he e respiratory consultant next week, but just curious.

I use Afrin-type nasal spray before bed, because I have to be able to breathe with my cpap machine. Prescription cough meds aren’t great, because codiene triggers my RLS. In desperate times I have taken 1/4 dose, but there has to be something else. I’m desperate.

There is a lawsuit against Phillip cpap manufacturers because some of the models of machines cause lung damage from the foam. If you used a cpap, and have any lung issues, the machine might have destroyed your lungs. Look it up.

I've just call the hospital to find out my date for me to collect my cpap machine its going tobe a week today ,fingers crossed for some good sleep.

I know its not strictly thyroid but this story caught my eye, an alternative to uncomfortable CPAP machines for those suffering with sleep apnoea, which has been mentioned a few times on the forum.

So looking forward to collecting my cpap machine tomorrow, and definitely looking forward to a good sleep, its been years since I last slept like a baby lol .I will keep you all updated watch this space.
