Sleep Study Results
We started the study on a
CPAP
at my normal setting of 10 and the tech came in about an hour later and said I might as well not have it on. So she started titrating the pressure up. We eventually wound up out of the
CPAP
and nasal mask and into a BiPAP and full face mask at 22/18.

Sleep Apnea & Memory Loss
Consider
CPAP
if Tips 1&2 don’t solve your sleep apnea. While
CPAP
can be effective, there are serious drawbacks to the device, such as low compliance rates among users, along with risks for nosebleeds, stomach discomfort, and claustrophobia.

Sleep Apnea - any experience or advice.
My sleep study shows I need a
CPAP
machine to help me breath at night !! I don't smoke or drink , I exercise daily and have perfect blood pressure . My BMI is 33 and I really struggle with my weight which can cause sleep apnea , I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience .

2 Crisis - Twice in one week - a bit much.....
I am NOT going back to hospital, however fast my heart goes, as I feel I can cope better at home, go rest, take Mestinon when I need to and go on
CPAP
if I need. I felt so scared that no-one was considering the MG symptoms which could potentially be far more life threatening.

New here and looking for advice.
I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and am using a
CPAP
machine. This has helped with fatigue but my pain is worsening. My Doctor has suggested Gabapentin but I've done a lot of research on this medication and I'm scared of the side effects.Any advice would be welcome.

Newbie - is there a connection between RLS and obstructive sleep apnoea?
I am on
CPAP
for severe OSA and wonder if anyone has found a link between RSA and OSA? I'm compliant with using
CPAP
but am increasingly suffering from RLS when I sit in the evenings and find the symptoms reduce when I distract myself by getting up and doing something different.

Hybrid Ablation
I did not sleep well as a woman in the bed opposite was having breathing problems; they decided she needed a
CPAP
mask, but she refused and complained loudly about it for the next 8 hours. Ablation day +1. My family visited at about 5p.m. They didn’t stay long as I kept falling asleep.

Bronchiectasis & Tracheobronchomalacia Exacerbations
I have also been referred to the Sleep & Vent clinic for
CPAP
trial as the respiratory specialist is hoping this will open my airways and allow for better mucus clearance caused by the bronchiectasis. But even though my nurse has been chasing the referral I have still had no news.

CPAP
machine ineffective.

Constant yawning, anyone else?
My iron is really low at the moment yet since starting
CPAP
therapy in Nov '16 I am no longer tired during the day. It is only when I exercise that the yawning starts. Has anyone any suggestions or does anyone suffer from the same problem?

Newby - Desparately Seeking Advice or any Level of Hope please....
I already had full review from Dpt Tropical Disease & Infection who at the last stretch diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (now on treatment
Cpap
). I was told it was highly unlikely also, so you can understand my distrust of professional opinion of those who don't follow criteria.
