Cream for facial area
I also wear a
CPAP
mask to sleep, so have to be careful with what I use, as it can corrode the mask, or be dangerous to breath in. Thanks

No Sleep Thanks to Afib
I should mention I have a
CPAP
as of 2019 for apnea btw. My primary doctor thinks I actually have a form of PTSD resulting from that week two years ago. The waking up throughout the night is really doing a number on my body.

My
CPAP
{Constant Positive Airway Pressure} Machine for sleep apnoea which also helps me breathing at night. My Gadgets have either been supplied by our wonderful NHS and others which have cost me no more than £40.00 each.

7 Months on a ventilator and counting due to covid
for the most part she is on
CPAP
at around 28% FiO2 and pressure support and PEEP of 20/5. Although RT's still have to sometimes get her back on A/C at 35% FiO2 to give her body a rest, things are looking more promising now. I just pray that mom will be home soon.

Dnacpr without family consent for Covid patient
Mum has been in hospital for 50 days, oxygen level 28-30% and is on
cpap
mode on ventilator. Lungs are still damaged from Covid and isn’t moving the left side of her body although ct scan of brain came back clear. She’s moving the other side fine and is even waving at us through video call.

Second hand CPAP/BIPAP Machine?
I recently vot turned down for
CPAP
trial re overnight sleep study. However, my own gadget telos me I may have mild/moderate sleep apnoea and I think the time has come for me to trial a
CPAP
/BIPAP myself. If anyone has one they no longer use Id be willing to buy at reasonable price.

Exercise recovery times
I also have to sleep on average 10 hours (on
cpap
) a night. My o2 sats are usually low 90’s without my preventer and about 96% when used. When I exercise I can get dizzy so I know that my o2 levels drop. Just wanted to see if anyone else had the same sort of problems.

Suggest any right method to avoid sleep apnea
My friend suggested using a
CPAP
mask(https://www.cpapoutlet.ca/en/Masks) to eliminate sleep apnea. What do you guys think is this the right method to avoid sleep apnea. Please share your thoughts regarding this. Thanks!"

Non stop sneezing
I thaught maybe my
cpap
machine causing that or just a sinus issue happening . I havnt had sinus problems for 2 years and rarely have colds even though I’m supposed to be immune compromised. So I will try a sinus rinse . It worked well last time I had this happening . Has anyone experience this ?

Obstructive sleep apnea and Parkinson's
I do, and I just went on
cpap
therapy recently. Noticing a slight improvement in most symptoms and hoping that with continued diligence I can improve more.

Dry Mouth Remedies?
I am on oxygen 24/7, sleep with a
CPAP
machine and take prednisone for advanced PF and 'usual' medications for a heart condition. I'm becoming increasingly bothered by a dry mouth, especially on waking even though I am not a mouth breather. Are there any effective remedies out there?

Doctors use existing treatment earlier to save the lives of Covid-19 patients.
He said: “We show that Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (
CPAP
) in the first days of hospitalisation seems to save between 10% to 20% of patients.

Neurontin
I use a
cpap
machine for sleep apnea and I have been on trazadone for a long time to try to resolve this. But it persists. I’m wondering about talking to my doc about trying Neurontin at bed time. Its main purpose is not to help with sleep but I’ve read that it might possibly get me back on track.
