New to CMT
Only thing he discovered is that I have sleep apnea which is now taken care of with
CPAP
. my lung capacity is 84% which doctor said is ok for my 69 years of life. But let me walk to another room in house and I am gasping for air. Scary.

The norm?
Breathing is becoming more and more difficult and it doesn’t help when u have to use a
cpap
machine daily. Sometimes I just wanna run away then I realise that will involve energy which I haven’t even got. What do I get coco? He’s one today

Stopped BP Meds!
Very happy to report that after 2 months on
CPAP
have been able to remove my Hypertension medication. This means I am beginning to see my ankles and may even have normal size calves and ankles by Christmas!

CPAP & AF
About 90 mins later it obviously wasn’t going away and I was getting breathless so I put on my
CPAP
machine (I have another condition which affects my breathing which AF can often trigger and which is far scarier than AF).

CPAP 1 week in
Studies have shown that ANP levels in patients with untreated sleep apnea are increased and levels reduced in patients using
CPAP
effectively.

Combination insomnia and sleep apnea
I don't know what to do anymore, they are issuing me a new smaller
cpap
mask and a quieter machine hoping it will work. Any suggestions or comments?

CPAP machine
So I have just started a trial of a
CPAP
machine. I am really struggling with it. My sleep has gone back to being disturbed whereas I was going to bed and sleeping till 6 and sleeping all night - the machine wakes up puffing air into me or coming out if the sides .

One for CPAP users
Evening peeps - This is a question for
CPAP
users - I have been caught out a few times traveling and needing my
CPAP
and haven't had access to electrical supply so I am thinking of buying a secondary mini travel machine, the new ResMed one.

Now a CPAP Machine?
We are now in the realms of a
CPAP
machine. We care for her at home but is it increasingly more difficult. Does anyone here have any experience of using this machine at night? This is such a dreadful situation for all of us...
