Cpap device noise
Common Questions and Answers about Cpap device noise
cpap
t fade for hours from my mask! Also the noise from my own breathing makes it almost impossible to fall asleep. The nurse is coming back tomorrow to try to fit me with a better mask. I have been reading lots of reviews and am not being very incouraged by them. I slept in the spare room yesterday and my husband said he came in and said the air pressure was very noisy!
I am getting really depressed over this. I have panic disorder and this is difinetly not helping.Please can you advise me!
hazyworld, some are able to effectively treat their apnea with a dental device, but not everyone. Have an honest talk with a reputable provider about your chances of it working for you. They are designed to pull the lower jaw forward, and some complain of pain or have TMJ trouble. But some are willing to do anything to avoid using CPAP. I didn't like CPAP at first either. Are you on oxygen because you aren't using CPAP or with a CPAP?
I was completely unable to handle cpap as it induced vertigo (a problem which I have intermittently), and sharp pains in my ears. I worked with the doctor and even on the lowest settings I had problems. I tried an oral device, but I have severe TMJ and it was too painful.
I tested for oxygen desaturation this week and it went down to 88%. The doctor is offering me oxygen. I realize this isn't a replacement for cpap, but given my situation, could this be at all helpful?
The most common treatment and arguably the most consistently effective treatment for sleep apnea is the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. In addition to CPAP, a dentist specializing in sleep disorders can prescribe Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT).
So please contact your doctor if you have not done it before so that treatment can be started.
Regards and God bless.

I am a 42 year old male who was just diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea with snoring but is intolerant of the CPAP. I am currently using an oral devise which forces my forward. I would like to to know if sleep apnea directly related to heart disease can it be reversed with the start of a CPAP or an oral devise?
I suffer from anxiety/depression. I use a C-PAP device, but still must have window open (if in winter) to sleep. I sleep best with moving air. When the air is completely still at night, I feel panicky. What can I do? My psychiatrist only prescribes medications.
It may be difficult initially to get used to the CPAP device. You could start by trying them for very short periods and then increase the timing as you get more comfortable. You could also request for lower pressures from your doctor and gradually increase the pressure and this may help. You could also try different masks and see which are more comfortable for you.
The data does warrant your making a maximum effort to use the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device effectively. The diagnosis will be more certain if and when you are consistently able to use the CPAP effectively, with relief of symptoms.
The best recommendation we can give is that you work closely with the sleep lab technical staff in an attempt to make yourself more receptive and better able to cope with the CPAP discomfort you are now experiencing.
Good luck.
You know, my husband also has a missing bone between sinus and brain. Just a small fragment and no one knows why but it was after sinus surgery when they informed him of this. There is something about the consistency of egg white that separates them. Kind of freaky. Anyway, this is a good question for your doctor. I wouldn't think this should be an issue but you'd want to make sure you have just the right pressure setting for your cpap device.
Hello and hope you are doing well.
The typical course of tinnitus involves habituation over time, people tend to get used to the sound. Otherwise, treatment for tinnitus lies in treating the underlying cause. Sometimes "white noise" may help suppress the sound so that it's less bothersome using an electronic device. They are white noise machines, hearing aids, masking devices and tinnitus retraining with a training device.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I have sleep apnea and was using the cpap machine but used it only once cause i could not at all sleep with a mask on my mouth and I could not aford to pay for it. So I returned it ,but now i cant sleep and during the day at abut after 12 noon i feel really tires and headaches and very sleepy . So i take caffine pills everyday to stay awake. I know taking pills is no the answer and I should be using the machine. My question is is there any other way to cure my problem with out the machine.
I too had difficulty with my cpap at the beginning, even quit for a few months. Turned out my pressure was not right for my needs.
Any chance you have a strap going around the back of your neck that could be pinching a muscle and/or impinging a nerve thus causing this tingling? Getting used to it is probably not going to make a difference in the tingling.
That would be my first thought, but I would also want to know my machine is meeting my needs.
You should definitely give the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device a fair trial. You also need to have further discussions with the sleep specialist, about his/her impressions of your symptoms. Is that specialist willing to attribute your symptoms to a sleep disorder?
If not, then the most likely explanation is that most, if not all your symptoms, are on an emotional basis and you should pursue that possibility.
Anyway should i not be wearing ear plugs using a cpap? And or should i discontinue the cpap until the ear infection is gone? Or is maybe the machine just set entirely too high? Like i said the machine forces me to sleep in minutes and also for the duration of the ear infection i wont wear ear plugs. Would this cpap issue have the ability to be fatal?
