Why am I always exhausted?
I had a
CPAP
machine, but it made no difference at all to my energy levels. I would still wake feeling more tired than before I went to bed.

I have just started
cpap
treatment (it’s taking some getting used to!) and as the long term cure is weight loss, I today started the NHS 12 week programme. I am both excited and yet nervous. But also extremely determined. Any advice and tips will all be appreciated. Thank you :)

Poor sleep in spite of using a CPAP machine
Is anybody out there in the same boat as me, I have been using

Feeling very sorry for myself.
I really struggled last night with my
CPAP
mask. My need to see Dr was partly down to anxiety at consequences of reduce immunity and PMR. I feel reassured that I have 'just a cold' and have been given an inhaler to help my breathing and a cough medicine to help me expectorate.

BIRM Testimonial – Neuroendocrine Pca
If you snore get a sleep study done..and maybe a
Cpap
or Bipap. My husband got his last summer.. after many years of snoring he sleeps like a baby! He does take other supplements but it is a lot to list. I am praying for you all! Every day!

Acid reflux
Getting a
CPAP
machine next week, hopefully it'll help with my insomnia and help keep AF at bay. Might even be able to sleep on my back.Don't know why more cardiologists and EP's don't tell people about the connection between afib and sleep apnea.

Pulmonary Oedema following heart attack
They were able to remove some of the clot but because it was so big they did not insert a stent (danger it would push clots around the heart) and he is now in CCU where they have been giving him blood thinners, insulin (blood sugar in 20s) and
CPAP
to try to push the fluid out of his lungs and reduce

Dall05 Update
He's trying out yet another piece of equipment that was described to us as being 'the closest thing to continuous positive air pressure (
CPAP
) without actually being
CPAP
'. They're also hitting him with the antibiotics.

Afraid to be nursed/receive hospital care.
I check his
CPAP
machine -he says he didn’t sleep night before & tried to rest during day but
CPAP
was ‘noisy ‘.
CPAP
‘noisy ‘ because was dry & empty. Staff had NOT filled with water -so how was he breathing /dry air ?? Further problems x2days now .

Don't think GP practice is treating my condition properly. What can I do about it?
Attached to a
CPAP
at night as an absolute necessity. I have put on about 3 stone in 2 years. I have constant tinnutus now and it drives me mad! Also recently diagnosed with Veinous insufficiency in my legs with lipodermal sclerosis - seeing consultant tomorrow for action plan (If any).
