cpap gas x

I am wondering if CPAP or Oxygen level is making me worse? or has CPAP played a part in the cause from the beginning. My Respiratory Doctor is also an ER doctor and has not been in his office, I have to wait till June 4th for resluts and a Game Plane! I have considered going to ER just to see him. Or City is short on these doctors and one has been having health issues himself and is out. So I cannot go to another. These are my most recent labs including thyroid stuff.

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.

This machine dries up the eyes and nasal passages which causes irritation, burning and sneezing. However pulmonary fibrosis cannot be due to CPAP use. Alternatively uses of CPAP mask in pulmonary fibrosis can cause claustrophobia like symptoms. Lung scarring occurs due to pathological deposition of fibrous tissue. This is a progressive disease usually and hence needs frequent periodic monitoring.

My husband has been on a cpap machine for a year now. In the past three or four months he has developed a large amount of mucus and slime in his throat and head. To the point that it makes him vomit every morning and now it is getting to happening sometimes in the course of the day. He has had tests to try to find the problem but have come up with nothing so was wondering if it could be from the cpap machine. Has anyone else had this problem ? We are desperate so please help if you can.

t know how serious this issue is, so not sure if I should call him or not. I have daily multiple heart palpitations and am on Metoprolol 25 mg x 2 day, Losartan 100 mg 1x day, HCTZ 25 mg 1x day. Anyone have any insight into this?

In most cases this resolves nasal congestion and irritation if it is caused by CPAP. CPAP machines can cause air in the stomach-gas and bloating. Sleeping with head aligned with the body helps. If you want a raised head then the head end of the bed should be raised. Pillows should be kept to the minimum. Lowering the CPAP pressure can help but do not do this without consulting your sleep specialist. Switching over to bilevel pressure or C-Flex may help you too. So ask your specialist about it.

I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP. I've noticed that in the morning when I wake up that I'm very bloated. Is it possible that I'm swallowing air from the CPAP? It's not gas. Also, I'm still soooooooooo tired when I wake up.

Not related to meals, eating or not eating. just comes on. I am on CPAP, so wonder about air swallowing, but have been on CPAP for 4 years. Very scarey and uncomfortable. Frustrated, doctor last year sent me to GI specialist who could not find anything. Now I have it back. On metamucil for chronic constipation, irrltable bowel syndrome, but why all of the sudden stomach is rock hard for days. Sleep interrupted, clothes don't fit. I do not drink.

I'm 37 wks prego n am having really bad pain for almost 6 hrs I know its gas I took time and been drinking water galore but it won't go away n the pain is horrific ugh help can I take gas x or something other then tums its not helping!!

Ask for some adjustment in the machine to overcome this. CPAP machines can also cause air in the stomach-gas and bloating. Lowering the CPAP pressure can help but do not do this without consulting your sleep specialist. Switching over to bilevel pressure or C-Flex may help you too. However, nothing should be tried without consulting the specialist. If nausea is not related to CPAP machine, then other causes will have to be looked into. Commonest cause of nausea is acidity.

Hi Bob How long have you had your machine mate, how often do you change the silicone face mask, how often do you clean the whole apparatus, how many hours on average per night or week do you use the CPAP machine , do you use a humidifier on the CPAP , have you had any trouble with the CPAP. I have had my CPAP machine just over 12 months I have used it for approx 1850 Hrs and used two face masks ( silicone ) I have my humidifier set at 2 no more.

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?

d love to have the question answered that it is likely gas in the X-part of colon or X part of my system and that this is common or less common, etc.?

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.

my husband had had a high fever (101-102.8 F ) x 3 days. He has seen his FNP twice and flu swap and chest xray are negative. He started with a bad cough. I worry that he will be unable to keep his Blood suger under control and will get too dehydrated dispited trying to drink enough water. He wo;t go to the ER and he doesn't like Gaterade type drinks. Could he have Whooping cough or a fungal infection because he does not clean his CPAP all the time?

I've been on a CPAP for 2 1/2 weeks. I'm sleeping relatively well with it, 7-8 hours per night. Almost every day since I've had the CPAP I've had headaches. The headaches don't start when I get up, but rather a few hours later in the day. Earlier this week I saw my doctor for a check up and told him about these headaches, and he said they were real and probably caused by pressure on the brain.

U can take gas x works for my sister she has it really bad and she's been taking that and she says she feels alot better

you are at no risk , you would have been at more risk with a burst appendix than radiation , so it was necassary to do it x x
