Lost my father
The last two days have been the hardest of my life, he was on a breathing machine (
CPAP
) fighting for his breath. I'm not sure how I can ever get over what he went through. Am I supposed to remember the good days and blank the last two days? Still in shock. Thanks

Energy and motivation hasn't really returned after Pred
Notes - I was recently put on a
CPAP
machine for severe apnoea. Also the doctors unintentionally found coronary artery partial blockages, (my second heart attack on its way?) To get my weight down after Pred, I've put myself on a diet and I've severely restricted my drinking alchohol.

The issues!
My
CPAP
machine is my best friend, after years of being prescribed sleeping pills that never worked. Fortunately, my body wanted oxygen and would wake me up! Sleep is not always a matter of "sleep hygiene" or reducing anxiety or stress. A good night's sleep can be a complicated goal!

Being on
CPAP
is difficult with high secretions and I wake up constantly because my throat is 'blocked' with gunk and I can't swallow or cough it out.

Maggie wears a
CPAP
when sleeping which helps but sometimes feels so ill she can't put it on. She feels she has no life and is just existing. I just don't know what I can do to help, I actually feel so helpless. Can anyone guide me as to where we're at with this cruel disease?

Sleep Help Needed
I also use a
CPAP
machine that kicks my butt most every night. This certainly adds complications. Thoughts? Ideas. Thanks

mountain air stone house problems?
Now for the past 3 years I feel like it's gotten so bad that I can't breathe properly when inside - especially when sleeping - which has given me sleep apnea which a
CPAP
machine does not help (makes it worse).

Cpap users with servere copd
Does anyone have experience of using a
cpap
machine to remove CO2 in someone who has servere COPD? My husband has just been told he must wear one at least every night as his oxygen levels are low and he is retaining CO2.

I have heart anxiety.
I also recently started
cpap
treatment also (it's on hold while I get through this). My issues right now are feeling sick but no runny nose, cough, or fever. So my anxiety is that it's something else and not a cold.

Diet book for PMR - anyone know of it?
It was recommended by my local pharmacist, a young guy that did a his university thesis on PMR. ( He also does a lot of research into
CPAP
machines having suffered a heart attack at age 28. It was discovered he had severe sleep apneoa). He's helped me a lot with both.

Newbie, hi
I was incorrectly diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea in 2016 and this was only discovered in 2021 after five years of trying to cope with
CPAP
. Am I allowed to feel fed up? AsleepInYorkshire (AiY)

cpap feels like the air is less clear … stuffy … even more stuffy than breathing without it on ?
my
cpap
makes the air I’m breathing feel very stuffy … not quite got to grips with this …. As I’m new to this I’m wondering could it be a machine problem …. I sort of thought my air would feel clear … sorry for so many questions …. I’ve washed tubing and filter btw…

I use
CPAP
too and that hose is a pain in the behind. I'm ready for winter break from school and work. I love curling up under a blanket and watching Hallmark or Lifetime. I know it's an escape from all there is to deal with but what a great escape it is. ⛷️

Weight Loss, in a positive way
I can't tell you how much this has had an impact on my life, as I don't even use my
CPAP
now, as my breathing has returned to normal during sleep. Hopefully, this may also help someone that is having trouble losing weight, just thought I would share it with the group. 😀
