How long does it take till you feel back to normal after you start using your CPAP

Your situation is a little unusual, but if keeping your window open or using a fan keeps you feeling better, then as long as there's no harm, keep doing it. Is your CPAP working? Are all your compliance data at optimal levels?

i have to put 2 bandages on my nose and this rubber square thats for people with corns on there feet to comfort my nose so it doesent rub..DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEMS WITH THERE CPAP MASK???

non compliance of cpap and dental appliance, sever obstructive sleep apnea. On CBC - hb is at 10 range, IgM is always low - 26-29 level.

I have been having chronic fatigue for a couple of years. Past year got so bad I almost had several MVA's. Finally went in and was tested. Severe sleep apnea and PLM's (alot of them). Cpap at 10cm helped daytime fatigue and I am sleeping better but still aytime fatigue. Provagil helps but not with driving. Ritalin, adderal not helping with that yet. Still testing for Hypersomnia vs Narcolepsy. Repeat sleep study showed very little Apnea but still some PLM's.

I'm sorry, but taken out of context, I'm not sure what those numbers mean. Are you reading from a CPAP compliance data report or a sleep study? Are there any labels next to the numbers you're reading?

From what I've read on a site devoted to cpap (cpaptalk) some of the older machines are workhorses and some report length of service similar to yours. It would not hurt to plan for the day it does "give up the ghost". Have you had it checked to make sure it is still outputting the proper pressure? Also, many of the newer machines capture treatment data so that you can know if your treatment is effective, and some even have available software so you can monitor it yourself.

The only reasons to fix your deviated septum would be 1) you are finding it difficult to breathe through your nose 2) you have sleep apnea and fixing your septum may help with CPAP compliance 3) you are having severe, difficult to treat nosebleeds 4) you are looking for cosmetic rhinoplasty (of which a septoplasty may be a part). It is shameful if anyone is trying to frighten you into having this surgery.

I've had fibromyalgia for 5 years now and the insomnia part is out of control. Saw a new sleep doc, and I don't know how I can do what he wants me to do! I did a sleep study - I had, as they put it, extremely light apnea only when I had nightmares. But since my doc wants to try me on xyrem, he said I have to use a bipap - and just found out yesterday that he needs what he calls "full compliance" - which in his words is having it on 7 hours straight, every night, no matter what.

Problems with CPAP are much less of a problem with modern small nosepieces and also adjusting the pressure to fit the body type and lung compliance. Most CPAP users do have dry eyes and use lubricating drops at bedtime.

i just went for my second sleep study to be hooked up to the cpap. the first one said i quit breathing and was breathing very shallow. once i get my new machine how long will it take to be back to 100%. i could tell the morning after that i did feel a little better and did not have a headaache.

I know that they are going to put me on a cpap machine. I know I would do okay with the mask that is just the two little prongs that go in your nose. However in the past when I have had surgery I have gone crazy when they have put the mask over my mouth and nose. I have always had very bad allergies and can not stand to have anything touching my nose and mouth. So I was wondering how do they determine what is the best mask for you to have?

My wife uses a cpap machine with moisture every night. She has had two bouts with pneumonia this winter which she never had before using the cpap machine. Questions: Can breathing in excess moist air into the lungs by means of the cpap machine overload the lungs with moisture and cause problems?

Shhhhhhh - your brain and body are listening. Give yourself some positive self talk, such as... I can do ANYTHING for just 30 days. Sleeping in my own home and bed will be nothing like in that lab. I'm going to take advantage of this change to get 30 days of real quality sleep. I'm glad that CPAP increases my likelihood of a good surgical outcome and recovery. I'm glad the next 30 days I will be at reduced risk of heart attack and stroke.

She aranged MRI of brain//sella -pituoitary on urgent bases, doctor also asked for TB test..Having obs sleep apnea-non compliance of CPAP, Endocrinologist explained that she can not do any thing due to obs, sleep apnea. Pain on center part of head is bothering, vision some times blurry, ESR always from 25 to 38 for last three years. Micro haematuria reason not find so far, IgM is low.All signs and symtoms are there of severe adult growth hormones . Dont know what to do.

since using cpap machine started swelling in feet,ankles,hands and stomach. stopped using machine for 4 days swelling went away. started using again for 3 days swelling came back.

In studies done about relapse and SVR, do any of them talk about the issue of compliance having an affect on relapse? Do studies base their results on 100% compliance with treatment?

ve lived my life in a state of exhaustion, until use of my cpap machine, and that has often caused very bad seizures. Without my cpap machine, I don't think I'd be here making this post.
