Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Brud... I do have a humidifier on my cpap but it's turned to 1. I can't tolerate warmer air. In the summer I use no water at all. I am so heat intolerant. It can be 30 degrees outside and I have to have a window at least cracked and most often the ceiling fan on as well. Another reason my hubby had to finally give in and move to the other bedroom. The snoring and the freezing were too much! Mama-Sher, 69; IPF, 3-06, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there! Re: Re: Bruce I've been wearing CPAP for OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) for about 5 years now.In most folks with OSA, the snoring is caused by the collapsing airway...now thatI use CPAP, I can't even nap without it...and the minute I put it on I'm 'out like a light'.Things I've learned along the way:-->Anyone with a 17 inch neck, or larger, probably has OSA.-->All people with sleep apnea snore; all snorers do not have sleep apnea.-->Most folks find CPAP machines with humidity more comfortable. brud+-- God is good; everything else is a lesson.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Well mine is interesting and still waiting to see final study and review with new pulmonologist. I either do or don't have obstructive issues, but when I hit REM I snore like the devil and my oxygen drops. When on BiPap it was fine. Now, if you'd told me the neck thing.....17 1/2. I do have heated humidity. The question was and is do I need CPAP or Oxygen or both. Right now the report is CPAP instead of Oxygen. But, I quite imagine a better sleep study is coming. My previous ones have been better than this one and my ex-wife's was also. They were taking a new approach and it leaves many unanswered issues. I haven't see the actual report from the study, but with the time so limited, don't know what I'll know when I do. Meanwhile, will use CPAP until new pulmonologist decides on next step. > > I've been wearing CPAP for OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) for about 5 years > now. > In most folks with OSA, the snoring is caused by the collapsing airway...now > that > I use CPAP, I can't even nap without it...and the minute I put it on I'm > 'out like a > light'. > > Things I've learned along the way: > -->Anyone with a 17 inch neck, or larger, probably has OSA. > -->All people with sleep apnea snore; all snorers do not have sleep apnea. > -->Most folks find CPAP machines with humidity more comfortable. > > brud+ > -- > God is good; everything else is a lesson. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Well, there is no question my oxygen was shown to drop earlier below 90% for 25% of the time. However, it appears to be happening during that 25% of the time in which I'm in REM and obstructed and, based on the tests, once on a BiPap (used during test) my oxygen was fine. Understand I was only on 2 liters of oxygen for sleep so the feeling is that 11 liters of airflow would cover it. However, I am going to request an overnight oxygen study on the CPAP to be safe and will probably have another night of sleep study to settle titration. But, all will await February Pulmonology appointment. > > > > I've been wearing CPAP for OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) for about > 5 years > > now. > > In most folks with OSA, the snoring is caused by the collapsing > airway...now > > that > > I use CPAP, I can't even nap without it...and the minute I put it > on I'm > > 'out like a > > light'. > > > > Things I've learned along the way: > > -->Anyone with a 17 inch neck, or larger, probably has OSA. > > -->All people with sleep apnea snore; all snorers do not have sleep > apnea. > > -->Most folks find CPAP machines with humidity more comfortable. > > > > brud+ > > -- > > God is good; everything else is a lesson. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
