Common Questions and Answers about Cpap machines richmond va

cpap

Avatar f tn Cpap machines are a scam. Horrible contraptions that ruin health and break relationships. Big money is made selling these monstrous, ugly, humiliating machines. All of the companies want you to think that they are wonderful and your spouse will love it and it's great look. You will have a personal, intimate relationship with this machine that will become more important than your spouse. Your spouse will feel left out, betrayed and alone. Do not fall for the scam. Demand another option.

Avatar m tn Certain CPAP machines have setting the lower the pressure automatically during exhalation. Talk to your sleep doctor or DME vendor and they should be able to help you with these issues.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know of a knowledgeable doctor near the Richmond, VA area that knows how to treat the autoimmune part of Hashimoto. I've been to several doctors in the Williamsburg area that only treat the thyroid after the damage has been done.
332074 tn?1229560525 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?
Avatar f tn I am a 34 yr. Old female I live in Petersburg, Va. and I work construction so I move around a-lot. I have add and I have been on Vyvanse. My Dr. Is in PA and I cannot continue to travel 500 miles to get my script. Can anyone recommend a physican around the Richmond area that will give me Vyvanse without a bunch of hassle?
Avatar n tn If so, are you certain your treatment is effective? Some machines record treatment data that reports how well the treatment is working for your apnea. Also, if you are on CPAP, some masks have straps that are too tight around the lower back of the head and hurt the muscles of the neck that connect the head and shoulders.

Avatar m tn Do this as well, and you will get better sleep and improved breathing. Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.
Avatar n tn I have used CPAP for 2-3 months, there appears to be little benefit, I switched from APAP?, the automated pressure version, to a constant 12 with the machine releasing pressure when breathing out (C-flex), this was with a Respitronics machine.
Avatar n tn Sleep apnea itself can have negative implications for brain health. The bacteria that they talk about with cpap machines is more lung related. But talk to your doctor.
Avatar m tn I've been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. I also have major sinus problems. I've tried the bipap and cpap machines with many different mask and can't find anything I can tolerate. The mask is one thing, but the air being forced causes my sinus problems to increase by stopping up my nose which makes me breathe through my mouth which as everyone knows won't work. Does anyone have issues close to what I have or any other suggestions.
Avatar n tn m almost to the point of just buying a CPAP machine on craigslist. But, your reply concerns me a little. Do CPAP machines *really* only help *some* patients suffering from UARS?? Is it only because most can't tolerate it? What if I get a BiPAP? I guess I'd like to get a an idea of a percentage of the UARS population that *can* benefit from the machine and whether a BiPAP significantly increses the chances that it will work (because it's much easier to exhale).
