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…

still struggling with machine and mask
had the cpap for almost a month now and seem to have 2 bad nights and one ok night. Have only felt the benefit for one day …. When I felt like I didn’t need a daily sleep. Still with the nose mask and still struggling with comfort… I don’t want to moan and I am persevering but wonder if something

RLS/PLMs and treatment
I would like to share information concerning my health particularly in relation to RLS/PLMs hoping that others with the condition may be helped. My experience of RLS could go back to my teens when, whilst seated and playing cards with my brother, we would both be moving our legs quite rapidly, toes

Improvement in fatigue
I'm what the sleep doctors call, "a long sleeper," sleeping on average 11 hours a night. A year ago my kidneys failed due to an allergic reaction to medicine and I've been in stage 4 CKD since. One of the worst side effects for me was the added fatigue. My primary care physician suggested that

ICU and teeth/dental hygiene gums
Hello, this might seem a strange one, given all the other major after-effects of intensive care, but I got a bit of a shock yesterday to be told I have gum disease. Given my regular daily brushing it was a bit of a shock When I thought about it I realised I did not brush my teeth for nearly three

Cisplatin based chemotherapy and neck irradiation for cancer has caused Parkinsonism/MSA symptoms in my husband and no diagnosis yet. Help.
My husband received treatment for head and neck cancer 10 years ago. He’s in remission but the long term effects have caused problems. Now, he struggles with severe orthostatic hypotension; dizziness when standing up and labile blood pressure when sleeping. It’s hard to determine why his swallowing

Traveling to France and Germany
Hello all! I have a wonderful opportunity to travel to France and Germany in early October. It’s been a dream of mine to travel abroad but I’m overwhelmed with all the paraphernalia I have to take; medicines for my asthma, emergency meds, cpap, etc. I’m unsure of the weather during that time and other

IS HE GOING TO SLIDE OUT OF THIS ONE?!
My friends may remember that in June 2021 I went to have a pacemaker inserted. During the procedure I suffered a pneumothorax which was not acted on for 3 hrs. In consequence I went into collapse and respiratory failure and my children were summoned because they gave me 10 mins to live. Due to my b.

Can You Damage Your Ablation Work By Over-Exertion After 5 Months?
I had a Cyro Ablation on March 16 of this year so it has been 5 months. (Today is August 19.) On April 13, I was taken off Flecainide and then put on a two-week Zio monitor on June 30 to see how effective the ablation was at least at that point. On June 23 I had one Afib episode lasting about 4 hours

Sleep Apnoea!
Some will remember that I have posted a few times about my trouble with sleeping, especially withdrawing from Amitriptyline when that wasn’t helping the sleep any more. Well, it appears that I have moderate sleep apnoea. My sleep is disturbed over 19 times per hour! This has led to me having to get

Possible Electricity Black Outs this Winter in the UK
Good afternoon everyone, As well as all the rising fuel cost can I please ask what people have in place that need to use cpap and Nivi machines everyday/night? Just in the worst case event that there possibly may need to be Electricity Black-Outs anytime this winter? I am already listed with my electric

St John’s Wort tincture and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Just wondering if anyone has a view on these herbal treatments: - St John’s Wort tincture - meant to be good for muscles - Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Root Extract - meant to be good for adrenal glands. Believe me, I am not parting with my Prednisolone until PMR goes back from whence it came

Lung reduction.
Hi, I'm new to the forum. I got diagnosed with COPD by my GP last October after a chest x-ray. GP referred me to the lung medicine clinic, luckily got an appointment in January. My fev1 was 19% which explained why I was struggling. I didn't get to see my consultant at the appointment unfortunately. Prescribed

Uniphyllin Continus 400mg
Hi everyone. Is any one else having trouble getting Uniphyllin Continus 400mg? I'm meant to take one, twice a day, but my chemist says that there are none available. I'm having to take two 200mg twice a day now, which obviously, is more expensive to the NHS. It's not really a big problem but, are they
