I'm new here, just diagnosed last month
I have been religiously on my
CPAP
machine for over four years now. I haven't missed a night without it since I got it and never have to take it off until I get up. So the day I got my heart monitor, I received a call from my cardiologist's office 45 minutes after I left.

Can anyone who's got severe sleep apnea and who's carbon dioxide levels are seriously high recommend any treatment other than
cpap
. My stepdad can't use it. Thanks x

Bradycardia and Sleep Apnea
I tried
CPAP
but it didn't help, apparently it is not an obstructive apnea where CPCP can help. I have a secondary hypothyroid where my pituitary is not producing enough TSH. TSH is alomst alwyas supprsed.

Stronger than you know
Most of all I'm finding that my sleep apnoea isn't as bad, I'm hoping one day I won't have to use my
CPAP
machine to sleep with. I haven't lost any weight but my clothes are looser and look better on me. All stuff worth running for. See you on the road. Cia x

COPD and CPAP
I have a question relating to
CPAP
use and COPD. If you use a
CPAP
, I would like to know if you feel it is helping you with your COPD and day-time breathing and satuaration levels? Do you feel there is any relationship between the two:?

Air hunger now a serious problem now on oxygen!!
I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and use a
CPAP
machine at night with the oxygen. I seemed to have got more breathless since using the
CPAP
machine. Rang the hospital and they said machine should not make me breathless.

The CPAP machine makes my daytime breathlessness worse
I've been using the
CPAP
machine, with oxygen attached, for just over a week. So far so good. I have breathlessness and I'm awaiting pulmonary testing.

A horrible, drained feeling upon waking up from a nap.
My doctor put me on oxygen at night which I now use in conjunction with a
CPAP
machine, nights only. I'm still awaiting pulmonary testing, even though the hospital cardiologist and my own doctor have written asking I be given an appointment.

Why am I so breathless all the time and for so long?
Since then, I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation, but whilst waiting for the
CPAP
machine, my doctor has put me on night oxygen as I was unable to sleep soundly, as I kept waking up with panic feelings. He suspected I was low on oxygen at night.

Living with COPD
I'm also a carbon dioxide retainer and have to sleep with a
CPap
mask. After a year of having constant bronchitis and pneumonia and taking numerous doses of steroids and antibiotics I developed a lung tumor that was cancer.

Cpap/bicap machines.
I was wondering if anyone who uses one of those machines could tell me what the black spot means next to the S/T icon. It doesn't appear all the time whilst my dad is on it but sometimes when he inhales the black spot is there. Thank you in advance.

At the end of my tether - should I get treatment in Europe?
My TSH has ranged from 4.67 to 3.67 over the past three years - in most other countries in Europe I would have been given medication straightaway and I'm sure this sorry tale would not have ended with a sleep doctor trying to force me into a
CPAP
mask (that's a story for another forum).
