cpap

Avatar m tn I use a CPAP machine, with a nasal mask setting is 15. I do believe it makes me sleep better. However it causes serious gas especially in the morning. I know others have reported this problem but have yet to see a good answer.
Avatar f tn Hi Meagher sorry you are having problem with your CPAP the only thing i may suggest is another type of mask i dout if the CPAP machine would send out any toxic air what i my suggest is run the CPAP for a while please let me know how you get on........
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 m tn 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.
Avatar n tn I have severe asthma AND VCD. I was recently started on CPAP for a mild case of sleep apnea. I hate it! I can't breathe with the machine on and it gives me headaches. I'm not sleeping any better with it than I was without it. I'm still waking up at least once per night needing to do a neb treatment. I also have fibromyalgia and PD, so I'm up several times per night due to pain, which the CPAP doesn't help.
569790 tn?1219256470 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn How long does it take till you feel back to normal after you start using your CPAP
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn The mask and machine litterally force me to sleep as if it were laughing gas minus the laughing ofcourse which i love but sunday morning i woke up with a headache and dizziness and some limb weakness and numbness. This morning i woke up with no headache but feeling extremely confused, and my limbs were extremely numb and almost unmovable but i got the mask off and recovered after a few hours. I was also very nautious.
1611319 tn?1378618399 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.
Avatar f tn Everything I eat gives me terrible gas that won't pass. To the point where it begins to hurt my stomach.... Normal?
Avatar m tn There are several causes of isolated low Pa02 measurements. First you will need a full set of pulmonary function tests including lung volumes and DLCO to better assess how well your lungs are diffusing oxygen and if your lung volumes are below normal. Simple spirometry will not tell this in a diagnostic manner. First it would be wise to rule out lung disease by performing the aforementioned exams, a CT will also visually show lung health and are commonly ordered in conjunction with PFT's.
Avatar m tn During the early morning (3 - 4 AM) I suddenly get a burning sensation in the left eye and it feels like there is something rubbing against my eye. I immediately remove the CPAP mask and try using a tissue to whip it away, but there is nothing there. I can feel something between the eye and the eye lid that seems to be moving around. I apply itchy-eye eye drops to get it out and provide some relief for the burning sensation, but that only gives relief for a few minutes.
1580703 tn?1651904887 yes I have OSA and CSA and PLMD and cpap doesn't work for me, my nose starts to buzz/hurt on cpap because of deviated septum. this disease has destroyed my whole body and life and career. I started getting diabetes, brain damage, couldn't learn well, exhaustion thanks!
608104 tn?1352587153 I am also adding 1/2 tab of hydrocodone/Tylenol at bedtime. Taking the other half if I awake breathless gives me a second session of sound sleep but I am slightly sedated when I awake in the morning. I think I will try my rescue inhaler of Albuterol when I wake gasping for air. The neurology section response indicates that there might be some depression affecting my sleep. Why not? This mechanical intervention is not the most comfortable experience this past 12 months!
1302038 tn?1439575232 Can you call your sleep clinic for a temporary loaner cpap - this is what I did while waiting for my cpap. Also, try to sleep with your head elevated, head and chin pointed back kind of in a cpr position - thereby opening your airway while your sleep. Also make sure you don't eat anything 3-4 before bedtime.

1257808 tn?1322762215 After the detailed examination, the doctor advised me to use a CPAP machine because I was suffering from sleep apnea. Initially, when I wear a CPAP mask it was a horrible experience. I was suffocating and not able to sleep a bit. This started affecting my mental stability and I stopped using it. But nothing changed. So my doctor advised me to start it again and to have more patience. Ater a few months I got adjusted to the machine and now I'm able to sleep.
