CPAP & Migraine- update
I just wanted to give an update. I though this would be a very easy process and it has not been. The main issue is I am waking up with pounding headaches often. I have never felt this type of headache so I know it is related to using the CPAP. They were going to have me try a front mask, but those have

Brain surgery in 2012. Successful but I haven't felt the same since. My savings dwindled after I finally left the corporate

obstructive sleep apnea
is is possible for someone with Obstructive Sleep Apnea to lose it after 64 years. Because I think that is what has happened to me. I have not used the CPAP machine for a month, with no ill effects.

raised blood pressure and NDT- what to do?
I started on NDT in Sept 2022 and felt great within a fortnight after nine months of levo doing nothing for me and about 8 years of undiagnosed hypothyroidism steadily getting worse. My blood pressure has always been a normal 120/80 or thereabouts. In January, I got asked in the street by a health promotion

Oxygen therapy
I have been referred for this and told I would get a visit at home. Just had first chest infection and inpatient stay, 3 days. Antibiotics worked super well, plus excellent ambulance crew. What is involved with oxygen at home, is it a small mobile cylinder? Do I take it everywhere. How does it work

AF triggered by sleep apnea
Hello - My first post! Question to others here experiencing paroxysmal AF, has the use of a CPAP for sleep apnea been enough to stop triggering your AF episodes? My cardiologist thinks sleep apnea is the trigger for me (sleep study confirmed I have mild apnea). It's been a long journey to this
