CPAP - for life
Hi, I'm Christina (Chris), I've had sleep apnoea since 2006 , was discovered when I had to transfer to a new respiratory consultant in Birmingham (I live in Gloucester area). Spent a day up there having multiple tests & was diagnosed with it. Was then transferred back to local hospital to get a machine

Sleep apnea results
My question is to anyone who has apnea did you have to use a
cpap
machine if your apnea is moderate? I’m also wondering did your af go away or get better after this diagnosis? Plus side of call they are very happy with my stone and a half weight loss :)

AFIB free from CPAP and ASD
I did indeed have apnea and started using a
cpap
machine. After 5 months I was scheduled for an ablation. In preparation for that, they found I had an atrial septal defect (ASD), a hole between the two atria.

CPAP machineto help breathing with coronavirus
Worried about the effects of covid19 I wonder if there would be any benefit in using my
CPAP
machine to assist my breathing if I get the virus. The
CPAP
machine is to prevent sleep apnoea and just pumps air (not oxygen) into a face mask..

My Dad is on a ventilator with Covid
He previously did
CPAP
for a few days and was fighting it at home for 7 days. He’s been proned whilst ventilated, but complications have included pulmonary embolism, following a CT and it seems like a step forward then a step back.

Soclean 2 cpap Sanitiser
There is no way to get it through the NHS, I have asked my consultants to be told NHS would not recommend this because it's not known how it works to sanitise
cpap
machines, I have a bipap machine, I would really love to know how else to get it besides buying it. It is not cheap.

REM related OSA
So he thinks I have REM related OSA and wants to put me on a
CPAP
. My dental device is not normalizing my sleep. So my questions are does anyone have REM related OSA? How was it diagnosed? What is your treatment? Do you use a
CPAP
? Thanks!

Update 3.3 Years Captivate trial, 4.3 years with CLL and so far so good! Now I have to worry about CV-19 ...
My
Cpap
really helps with my sleep as well. I continue to eat mostly Vegan with a lot of good vegetables, fruit, and nuts. I drink a lot of high-quality Japanese green tea and drink juiced turmeric.

Hello
I'm now waiting for a sleep study and a
cpap
machine. I also suffer from other physical disabilities and extreme mental health problems which causes my sleep to be a real problem.
