High Altitude - Sleep Apnea

[Guest guest]

It is the Sleep Apnea that is bad at 8,000 feet. Hyperaldosteronism is

ok. I caught myself breathing through my mouth. Nose is still

bleeding. That is why I try to go to bed at 9pm and get 9 hours of

rest. But I have noticed that there is a headache every morning.

I am actually having fun, but the skiing is cold. It is -5 degrees

Farenheit outside, so I wear lots of layers and hand warmers in my

gloves and also on my face.

I will be back home Wednesday, January 23, 2008.

Yep, for me a one-sided headache upon or shortly after awakening is a

sure sign my OSA is not well-managed. Do you know you to self-adjust

the pressure on your machine? You might want to bump it up a bit.

Hi

Just a comment. I have sleep apnea and I use a RemStar CPAP machine. My

machine has three settings: a low altitude, normal and a high altitude setting.

I go to the Idaho Sawtooth mountains fairly often which is high altitude also

and when I do I change the setting to high and I have no noticeable difference.

I notice a difference without the change.

I hope this might help you.

I could, but the nose bleeds every night at 8 cm of pressure as is.

I will be back at home on Tuesday night, January 22, 2008 anyway.

Thanks for the suggestion.
