Atelectasis and partial lung collapse
Hello has anyone got this and ground glass opacity from a CT in my lungs. I'm wondering if a cpap or bipap machines will help inflate patches of collapse or help oxygen. I'd pay for them myself just struggling to walk upstairs is so depressing and I feel no one really gives a damn. Just me reading,

Machines after ablation surgery for paralyzed diaphragm and phrenic nerve
How many out there use a bipap or cpap machine for a paralyzed phrenic nerve and paralyzed diaphragm after pulmonary vein isolation or some refer to it as ablation surgery?

2 Crisis - Twice in one week - a bit much.....
This week we we should have been enjoying Chelsea Flower Show - unfortunately went into AF on the train up to London and felt really ill. Sat on platform whilst Hubbie got help and ambulance was called. Did valsalva maneuver on the platform and reverted into NSR - just as paramedics arrived but then

Newbie to site
I've been on Requip 3mgm for about a year and have gained 25 lbs. which will not come off, even with daily bike riding and trying to diet (cut out sodas and junk food). Trying to come off Requip .... my primary doc said to taper by half a mgm per week. I just went to two mgm two nights ago and am miserable

Pulse Ox levels
I have been on a CPAP machine and then a BIPAP machine at night to keep me breathing since 1996. Recently had a pulse ox monitoring test at nights which determines if the oxygen levels in your blood remain in normal range at night. It a little clip you put in your finger and it records your pulse oxygen

It wasn't scheduled for another week but the center called a couple of weeks ago with a cancellation and got me in early. There were a couple of significant

CPAP machine
I knew with my weight gain I was a candidate for CPAP. Well I took the test and I shocked the nurse reading my report. Let's just say mine was severe sleep apnea. The only symptom I had was on occasion I would wake up gasping for air. Well, I have been on it now for a month and what a change. I am

Newbie - is there a connection between RLS and obstructive sleep apnoea?
Hi - I'm new here after just watching the documentary on RLS. It's prompted me to seek more information about the condition. I am on CPAP for severe OSA and wonder if anyone has found a link between RSA and OSA? I'm compliant with using CPAP but am increasingly suffering from RLS when I sit in the

Bronchiectasis & Tracheobronchomalacia Exacerbations
I am writing this from my hospital bed actually fuming over the decision of a younger doctor to take me off IV antibiotics and put me back onto oral. Luckily a senior doctor over ruled that decision and I am still on IV meds but for how long 😩😩 I was first admitted at the beginning of March with fever
