287996 tn?1312023682 Hey chevy man. I've seen you around here for a long time. How about more details on the elevated pulse. How fast is it? and When does it occur? I too wear CPAP. I've used it for the last 6 years now, and it no doubt has saved me from an early, painful demise as I had very severe obstructive sleep apnea. Prior ro getting on it, I had been waking up with a pounding pulse in the middle of the night. It wasn't SVT (which I had), but an elevated and pounding pulse.
Avatar n tn 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.
603216 tn?1244710593 I recieved my CPAP machine about 8 months ago. It did take me a while to get used to it. I went through 3 kinds of masks.The nasal one works better for me. I did get a sore on the bridge of my nose, so I put a bandaide on untill my nose ajusted. My husband was so happy, he said the snoring stopped, and it was a good thing he said the walls were going to cave in. All so I don't toss and turn anymore. And when I put my mask on I have to hear the same thing every night.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm new to this site, it's fantastic. I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has Narcolepsy and Obstructed Sleep Apnea?? I have both and feel like I'm the only one on the earth who is this lucky..LOL! My Neurologist calls me her Medical Phenom !. I also do not have cataplexy, but regularly experience Hypnagogic, at onset of sleep. Thanks, have a good one....
Avatar f tn I have had the surgery that you describe as well as a deviated septum repaired. I will tell you that this surgery is no walk in the park. It is like getting hit in the face by a truck. Getting your tonsils removed in adulthood is very painful as they are quite large. Your Uvula getting cut out doesn't feel much better. The operaration seemed to be sucessful for about a year and then I put a few pounds back on the old bread basket and my sleep apnea returned.
Avatar n tn I have been on cpap for 2 weeks now, I have had 4 different masks. I can fall asleep now no problem, but am waking up during the night and taking my mask off. It is getting very frustrating as I thought that this was a magical cure for tiredness but am getting so put off over the whole thing I feel like just giving up, have others had the same type of feeling?
5054005 tn?1362922551 It takes a while to find a mask or nasal pillows that work for you. You just have to keep trying. I made several appointlements with my Durable Medical Equipment provider to go there, and try on a couple of masks before selecting one and trying it. After 8 years, I'm about to start my third nasal pillow, the Philips DreamWear. With this one, I was a 5 month beta tester some time ago, so I have prior experience using it.
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.
1054090 tn?1343965695 If you do have sleep apnea, the treatment is that you will sleep with a CPAP machine. It stands for Continuos Positive Air Pressure. You wear a mask that blows air down your passages to keep them from closing when you sleep. Cause when they close is when you stop breathing. Id it is determined you have sleep apnea it is vital that you wear the cpap eveytime!! You can die from sleep apnea just as easily as a baby can die from sids.
107693 tn?1252864443 I am having a hard time gettting use to the CPAP. I asked for the nose pillow when i got the results, thinking that i would like it better, It has been two weeks so i asked for the small mask. I was also told that i need to use CPAP with the water. When i wake up I find the need to take it off, then when i go to put it back I get very anxious, palpitations or it feels that my heart is racing. So i sleep without it. I have thyrothis with six nodules. had a FNA results were negative.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn Hi, not heard from you for sometime, hope now you are doing well and have got adjusted to your new CPAP machine. Initial discomfort is commone but in due course you will get used to it. How did you do your recent sleep study. Any advise from your physician. Take care and keep updating your feedback.
Avatar f tn I changed my pillow protector and I thought my problem was solved but I still wake up with a stuffy nose. Could it be my sleep apnea machine? Or something else? I'm fine once I'm awake and I go downstairs.
Avatar m tn The reason i ask is because i dread sleeping now. I inevitably wake up totally blind or fuzzy in whichever side i'm sleeping on. I realize it's the pressure i'm putting on my eyes sleeping on my stomach into the pillow, i'm not totally ignorant. But i can't control the way i toss and turn at night having sleep apnea, and a very severe form of panic/anxiety attacks lately does not make sleeping a joy as it should. I actually dread waking up in the morning because of it.
Avatar m tn I have been using CPAP machine for over a yr. now and I have seen no improvement in my sleep. I use the nose pillow mask because of me being a side sleeper but I find me waking up with my mouth open and sometimes there is drool. Should I try a full mask to see if that would be any better for me?
439553 tn?1210776816 Do not worry about the new CPAP machine you would be using to assist sleep, as there can be initial hesitency and discomfort, which you need to overcome with regular use. Keep updating and share your initial experience with the CPAP machine. I would suggest you to do yoga and meditation for about half an hour daily, which is helpful to overcome the stress. Take care.
Avatar m tn 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.
1054665 tn?1305508455 Have Herpes of the mouth, and awhile back had a pretty bad break out, it spread to the inside of my nose. Now there seems to be a scar there, it hurts me whenever its touched inside and or out. I have sleep apnea, and sleep with a cpap, the kind that shouldn't hurt the nostril pillow. However this does hurt me, even the air hurts. Is there anything I can do? Is it best if I try an on the nose mask?
Avatar f tn I just received a new pressure (8) on my humidified CPAP, and I'm having a big problem the minute I get up: tickling to actual burning when the air hits my nasal membranes, runny nose, and constant sneezing. When my machine was set at 3, this happened a couple of times a month, - I blamed myself, thinking the CPAP hadn't been properly cleaned. But now I clean it in hot soapy water every day, and the problem is every single day! Do any of you have this problem?
620048 tn?1358018235 Just wanted to add that my nurse practioner that works with my MS Dr. is going to get me into see one of the pulmonoligists at UCSF ..this makes me happy. There are not many of them around, at least good ones.
1555684 tn?1294434646 I just shudder thinking back to when pretty radical surgery on the soft palate was the new latest and greatest way to avoid CPAP. Many elected surgery over CPAP and ended up STILL needing CPAP. It takes time for the medical community to get a good picture of a new treatment's long term effectiveness. I would consider the device you mention, but not for a very long time.
Avatar m tn Hi I just wanted to comment about your CPAP problem. I have been using a CPAP for many years. Ever so often you should have a new sleep study as the pressure setting may need to be changed. Also the doctor needs to know about your head jerks, he will be able to determine what is causing them. So if I were you I would make an appointment with your sleep doctor as soon as possible.
