Re: Sleep apnea and fibro Loretta

[Guest guest]

Loretta,

I was told that I needed the CPAP machine to keep me from having a

heart attack or a stroke. I still haven't adjusted much and am going

to push for a new mask or nasal pillows. I would prefer the latter.

I don't like feeling as if I can't breath most of the night although

sometimes I am breathing fine. Also, the nose mask leaks into my

eyes and on my mouth.

Margaret,

I was also told that same thing. it scared me, since i am only 33. i

just got referred by my doc to a cardiologist for a 2d echo test. so

i am scared into action now! i hope one of the options they have for

apnea works for me!
