My friend's company replaces his CPAP supplies whenever he asks. They give you instructions on how to keep it clean. Obviously nobody wants to do it, but there are consequences. Otherwise they would let you do it the easy way. Now you have unexplained lung nodules, so you will have to get a biopsy to find out what is going on. Nobody here can help you.
I have just changed from the minmed 508 pump to the minmed paradigm (512)and have supplies remaining for the 508 pump. These are factory sealed, unused but not compatible with the new pump. If anyone has a need for these supplies please respond.
) Well on top of that, I contacted my insurance about the surgery for soft palate etc because my RDI index without a cpap is 40 and with a cpap is 23. The mouth appliance did not work and the cpap only helps slightly. My insurance considers UARS and anything to do with it experimental and doesn't even classify it as having anything to do with sleep apnea. They won't even count RERA's, only Apneas and Hypopneas.

Pressure support ventilation, where air under gentle pressure is passed into the airways keeping it patent. A CPAP delivers continuous pressure for both inhaling and exhaling. As this supplies continuous amount of air pressure the person has to exhale against this extra pressure. This makes it imperfect or unsuitable for certain people, such as those who are suffering from neuromuscular diseases.
I have been using a CPAP machine for almost 3 months. From the night I used it I did not wake to go to the bathroom during the night. Although this was nice, I developed a problem immediately (from the first night) with swelling in my legs (calves, ankles, feet) and in my hands. I did NOT mention it to the sleep doctor because It was a month until my follow-up appointment and I never saw it listed as a side effect of CPAP therapy in materials I read.
Right now my left foot is numb because the artery that supplies blood to that leg is blocked again. Take care and get checked out soon. This is nothing to take lightly.
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.

My wife uses a cpap machine with moisture every night. She has had two bouts with pneumonia this winter which she never had before using the cpap machine. Questions: Can breathing in excess moist air into the lungs by means of the cpap machine overload the lungs with moisture and cause problems?
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.
since using cpap machine started swelling in feet,ankles,hands and stomach. stopped using machine for 4 days swelling went away. started using again for 3 days swelling came back.
I noticed I had gained over 6 pounds since starting CPAP. After just one night without the CPAP I dropped 3 pounds, which I believe is all fluids.
My question is this: Could CPAP use cause your kidneys not to filter out fluids from your blood? When using CPAP I do not get up during the night to urinate. After one night without using CPAP I did get up to go to the bathroom, my weight dropped by 3 pounds and the pain is greatly reduced.
I had to discontinue using my cpap, due to chronic lung infections. Changing the tubing, keeping it spotless, did not help prevent infection for me. Stopping the cpap treatment, is the only thing that prevented the chronic lung infections...and I always used the humitifer, which never helped prevent any infection... I regret ever having the sleep study and I regret what all the money and time it cost me, and the suffering of 3 years of lung infections...I am so done using the cpap treatment!
