Worried..please advise
with a
CPAP
device. My problem is that I have been very tired and felt generally unwell for the last 3 weeks and have developed a cough - not continuous but nagging and enough to disturb my sleep at night. The cough does sometimes produce phlegm (eg in the morning) but is largely dry.

I saw a Cardiologist this week. Seems I may have a complication due to another complication of PSP. I'd appreciate feedback.
The only treatment is the use of a
CPAP
machine. I have a high-end machine and need the full face mask. While it hasn't eliminated the apnea events, this treatment has reduced the events quite a bit. However, starting roughly a year ago, I began to notice I became short-of-breath quite easily.

Progress and help request
I have serious medical problems and can only exercise whilst using a
CPAP
breathing machine, or my airways will collapse. Can anyone give any advice on exercise ? I can't stand for long and use crutches. I have a long way to go yet.

Upset
People were constantly staring at me in the wheelchair and because I have to use a
CPAP
breathing machine also. I now don't want to be seen in public. I am so upset tonight.

Can a TBM patient suddenly become extremely drowsy to the point of requiring mechanical ventilation?
His blood CO2 level was increasing so he was put on
CPAP
for a while but later was put on mechanical ventilator. Doctors wanted to do an MRI but couldn't do it since he had a permanent pacemaker implanted. So a CT Contract was done which showed that his ventricles are very dilated.

Feeling upset and confused
I shall spend tonight wired up to machines to confirm then it's off to Oxford for a
CPap
machine. This has left me in a bit of a quandary because this doc says the symptoms that have been put down to APS could be caused by sleep apnoea.

So no medication until I start using a
CPAP
. So I had a follow-up sleep study to figure out what sort of
CPAP
and setting I need. Got that done, got the prescription in, just needed to wait for it to come in, use it for a few weeks, then get on the medication and everything'll be great, right?

Partial Update
So I have a follow-up visit to get a
cpap
and after I'm on that for a month with no problem, the doctor will give me oxycontin for my RLS.

Update
If I do, she wants to put me on a
cpap
and then give me the medicine. I'm thinking, if I'm going to be on a
cpap
, why not just go back to taking tramadol then? But I'll follow the doctor's advice and give the oxycontin a try...

Strange night !
Well yesterday I went to the hospital to be fitted with a
CPAP
machine. Last night was my first night of using it, can't say I had a good nights sleep, but hey I will try again tonight, I know it will take a lot of getting used to but if it makes me less tired during the day then it is worth it.

Dont always assume its your thyroid
After completing a sleep study i have now been told i need a
CPAP
machine for sleep apneoa. I am dreading using one of these, however i appreciate that it could be a lifesaver, and remain grateful that somebody took me seriously.

CPap machine
I was given a
CPap
machine by the Brompton hospital and have never looked back really. Apparently my oxygen levels drop so low during the night that I keep waking up in a panic although sometimes I wasn't really even aware of it. Iam.

Some additions to the diagnosis. Anyone else?
Thank heavens I so didn't want to start anymore drugs or shell out for a
cpap
machine at this stage.
