cpap

Avatar m tn yeah needing to do something different. but the cpap mask is full mask. and think i remember its on auto. one of the new resmed models .
Avatar m tn I wear TAP 3 appliance. Did a sleep study with Resmed Appnealink Plus. 4 Apnea, 12 Hypoapnea/M , AHI 19, Average O2 saturation 93%, lowest 83% once,pulse h 101, low 50, avg 74 then I wore Auto CPAP s9 along with TAP3 and AHI was 0, All Apnea are gone, O2 average was 95% but lowest desaturation episode was 76%, once, pulse H 104,lowest 47 and average 72 Why does this lowest desaturation event up to 83% occur even with CPAP ? Is this a clinically significant to seek an opinion ?
Avatar m tn hi! I'm boiling my resmed mask in water for 30sec and I think it really helps to clean it out, vinegar may also work I've been taking d mannose hoping it will stop any brain damage I've gotten from sleep apnea if anyone wants to talk about sleep apnea and treatments that would be great!
648944 tn?1241469694 As you are researching, consider if treatment data (not just compliance data), plans to use it for travel, means of battery backup, exhalation relief, and having an option of being auto titrating are important to you. While I love my bells and whistles, I kinda feel that it's like the cars these days - so much more to go wrong than in the old no-frills days. In the meantime, congratulations on getting such a reliable machine.
Avatar f tn My husband uses a CPAP machine and for 5 years was very compliant. He began having trouble with the mask cutting into the bridge of nose. He has tried different masks, nasal pillows; I think everything that is available. He cannot get a good seal with any of them except the one taht cuts into his nose. Bandaids have not worked. Does anyone have a suggestion to protect his skin without compromising the seal. We would greatly appreciate any input.
Avatar f tn Thanks for your reply and an update on the Resmed SV, which is far better compare to a CPAP machine as it has many more advantages like delivering different sets of air pressure - increased when the patient inhales and decreased when exhales breath, making it easier for sleep apnea patients who have difficulty breathing spontaneously at their own rate and depth. Also can be useful in those with neuromuscular disorder as there is no requirement for an active process.
Avatar m tn The MSLT was abnormal showing hypersomnolence but no REM sleep so no narcolepsy diagnosis. Setting ranged from 9 to 11 cm H20 on his CPAP - a ResMed EPR Elite II. 3 years of trying every mask and chin strap and with another PES sleep study to verify pressure, we finally gave up on CPAP and he moved to a TAP appliance. My son has very sensitive skin and tried his best to adjust. The TAP appliance has been a better fit for him.
149675 tn?1416673133 I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and put on a CPAP machine. I have been using it for about 5 days now. I am sleeping OK with it and even think I feel a little clearer in mornings and during the day. My problem is with the mask. After the first day I had painful whiteheads under my nose. I treated them with cream (after they popped) and that is doing a little better. Now the bridge of my nose is very red, a little puffy, and I have 7 small whiteheads there too.
1580703 tn?1651904887 I've had terrible sleep apnea for 4 years, it was so bad I couldn't read/remember sentences and had severe exhaustion and prediabetes, constant colds. I found that 0.5-1mg klonopin seems to help my central apnea, PLMD/seizures. I feel much clearer and have more energy but I heard that it's a narcotic and can cause memory damage long term/withdrawal problems? anyway I'm really unhappy that I just got this mysterious disease and asthma.
Avatar n tn I don’t think you need a BiPAP because these are used for people who have high pressure settings. A lot of cpap machines like Resmed and Respironics ones have expiratory relief as well.
1767141 tn?1313678474 I have positional sleep apnea but do not tolerate CPAP or Auto-pap well due to extremely dry mouth which is worse now after surgery to correct long-term acid reflux which burned my mouth and throat. I awaken very early even wearing CPAP or Auto-pap. I am only a little over 2 weeks out of the surgery I had and the GERD/reflux was very bad and made my apnea worse.
1218873 tn?1300091216 I have a CPAP machine on a months trial, this is one that varies the pressure as required it records the information on to an SD card so when I return to the clinic I will then be given a machine that has the correct fixed pressure. I have a full face mask as I could not get on with the nose only one. Now my problem is I wake in the middle of the night with a very dry mouth (i mean completely dry) my mouth has ballooned with air and the mask is vibrating against my face.
Avatar n tn After 4 sleep studies and 3 machines (now using the Resmed ASV), I still have severe daytime fatigue and a very high AHI. Is there a center that specializes in this problem?
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with sleep apnea 4 years ago, and since then have used a CPAP S8 model everynight. I have noticed over the last year that i am suffering from aerophagia, caused by the CPAP. While i may have bloating, tummy pains and rumbling of gas moving in my intestines etc, i have also been diagnosed with high protein in the urine, doctors say is caused by damage to the kidney, letting more albumin out than usual. They attribute this damage to the high blood pressure i am suffering.
Avatar f tn I have the same problem with nose running and sneezing all day for about almost a month now. I got a new ResMed Elite CPAP machine for the very first time end of last July at air pressure 6 then increased to 9 last month that is when it started to cause my nose running and sneezing all day. I have boxes of Kleenex everywhere! Wow! I thought it was allergy, and I took pills but it didn't work. I then thought it was bad cold and I took Contac pills and again it didn't work.
559187 tn?1330782856 Yo, Julie. Another "hose-nose" here - I've been using my CPAP (mine is much like a BiPAP with exhalation relief) since being diagnosed with OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) three years ago and I wouldn't consider sleeping without it!! CPAP has actually saved my life! I say this because I have had very scary experiences before I got CPAP where I'd wake up not breathing and not be able to start breathing again.
1068014 tn?1255107187 I ditto Chrochetya's comments.
Avatar n tn I have suffered for three weeks with bowel backup. Went to ER four days ago after began vomiting. X-rays show bowels backed up but no obstruction. Dr. said take Magnesium Citrate. Took two bottles, four enemas, taking about six tablespoons/day of Ducolose. Have not had any results in bowel movement except about 3:30 a.m. yesterday. Went to M.D. yesterday and sent me for CT Scan. Results--still significant backup and advised to continue what I'm doing. Still hurting. Can you help?
Avatar n tn your heart has what essentially amounts to a backup battery. If it stops beating right, the backup sends it a signal to get it moving again. Sometimes it sends that signal by accident, causing that weird heartbeat feeling. This can be caused by a variety of causes and is not something to worry about.
Avatar f tn I really am not worried about the failure as I have my pacer interrogated every 3-4 months. My pacer is getting old and the battery life is waning so that is the reason for the frequent interrogations. I do not have a ICD/defibillator, just the standard pacer. Have you recently had the AV and SA nodes ablated or are you scheduled to have it done?
Avatar m tn If you have an ICD-CRT device (also with defibrillator), your doctor can leave the ICD turned on and change the pacemaker (ventricular pacing) as a backup if needed (e.g. when your own pacemaker runs too slowly or if appears a blockade between the upper and lower part of the heart). You can discuss about this option to your doctor and define with him the pros and cons. Good luck.
Avatar n tn I know that I am being slightly irrational, but it would help to get some backup on that opinion. I am a 27 year old female who is pregnant. This is my second pregnancy. I was in the Army and during my career was tested last right before I got pregnant with my daughter, which was in 2004. Since then I have been with her father, and my current husband whom I am now expecting a child with. We have been together for over 3 years in a very monogamous relationship.
