NHS survey on CPAP machines
The NHS is running a project about supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people who have a
CPAP
machine to use it better. Sometimes called a sleep machine, a
CPAP
machine helps people sleep by keeping their airways open, letting them breathe normally.

Extreme Fatigue
Since then I've changed jobs (to an office job), have found out I have sleep apnea which I have a
cpap
machine for. By all means I should be feeling okay. My iron levels always come back okay. I am so tired that I could nap during the day and easily sleep 3-6 hours.

Does anyone know if
cpap
would help even though im under the threshold for sleep apnea? I believe these can be bought privately. Any advice welcome. Thanks

finally off of Ropinirole ,what next?
After another sleep study I’ve been given a
cpap
machine as well, not sure if this helps at all, but will try anything. I have finally got the specialist to agree that I can try something else apart from Ropinirole ,so without any help from them I have weaned myself off of it.

Hypothyroid / sleep apnea
In May I took a private sleep test and found I had severe sleep apnea (60 AHI per hour) so bought the
CPAP
/APAP machine and started therapy, the results were instant and felt much better.

Increase Before Testing???
(I was not on
CPAP
until after my thyroid went wonky about 4 years ago.) I have been on the 37.5 mcg dose of T4 for almost 2 1/2 weeks and the brain fog is relentless. (When I was on the 50 mcg I actually had a few good days.)

Anyone else do this or is it just me?
This is not during the night as I have a
CPAP
for sleeping. I can be just sitting watching to or reading and and I have to take several deep breaths not sure if this is related to any of my conditions or if I am just thick and forget to breathe.

had b12 results and called in to discuss
I was diagnosed t2 diabetic now on metformin and then sleep apnea last year and now on
cpap
. I have had low vit d which is now raised on supplements. Any help would be much appreciated as I am expecting some resistance as I anticipate the doc recommending not to supplement.

Possible hypothyroidism, No Thyroid and on 50mg Levo since Nov 22
I take liquid Vit D, B complex and Fish Oil plus bloodpressure meds (Felodopin 10mg) and sleep really well as given a
CPAP
machine after thyroidectomy. I take my levo in the morning and am worried that this is not the right drug for me.

Insomnia- solutions?
I am currently taking Zolpidem which generally guarantees about 7 hours’ sleep and means I can use a
CPAP
machine, but the NICE recommendations are to only use it in the short term.

Need Help in Sleeping After Meningitis
My primary care physician sent me to a sleep specialist who only wanted to concentrate on
CPAP
. I have an app that keeps up with my total sleep including deep, light and rem sleep . It gives me an overall sleep quality number which is averaging about 50. I feel like that number should be above 80.

Heart trouble, 32 years old.
I've been on
CPAP
for 2 nights so far, so I'm hoping this may go some way to resolve my issues and take strain off my heart. I guess I'm just reaching out to people for advice and reassure. I almost feel hopeless and destined for a life of misery and heart trouble.

I have had obstructive sleep apnea for years but diagnosed and managed for about six years, using
cpap
nightly to good effect. Unfortunately due to my diabetes and needing to wee more than usual my night is always broken. I am happy to help anyone on here if I can.
