I stop breathing at night even with my cpap machine

[Guest guest]

A month ago I had a cervical epidural steroid injection. They put me under for

about 20 minutes to have those and I stopped breathing. My pulse ox went wayyyy

down. The doc shook me several times to get me to breathe again and put me on

oxygen. My PCP recommended that I have another sleep study.

I had it last night and the cpap didn't work. They started me on a bi-pap

machine. It was very strange because it forced air INTO My lungs and then I

breathed out normally. It worked!

Hmmmm, I wonder if I could have one 24/7 lOL!

The doctor who did the sleep study is a Pulmo. I told him I had been on xolair

for 6 years and was the first one in the state to get it. He was impressed.

I get my new machine in a few days. Gotta get used to one all over again
