I have both Very severe chronic obstructive sleep apnea and COPD, do these disorders cause the brain to not receive enough Oxygen? I have experienced TIAs lately and am wondering where is causing it.

HELP! I keep taking my mask off on a nightly basis! My Doc has been asking me how long I keep it on at night, but being that I am ASLEEP(duh), I have no idea. But, just this week it occurred to me to compare how much water has been used in the Humidifier. HAH! NO Water is being used, that must mean ...

This morning I was woke up by my CPAP bubbling water up my air hose, which was very noisy. My Humidifer was closed,so what could have caused this to happen. The only other times that this happened was when the Humidifier was open, I checked but it was closed.

Any ideas?

If I can remember correctly, I have been using my CPAP about 4 months. At first it was set on 10, now it is on 14. I do not know when I remove my mask only that it is done in my sleep. I do not have access to any numbers and I do not know how to access them. The Doc is the one doing the readings and...

When I last saw my Doc, I asked her if I stopped breathing during the study. She answered, yes many times... 35 times an hour (or is it per minute ,cannot remember) . Which ever it was it was bad and it really scared me; afterwards I thought that I was going to die in my sleep They all told me that ...

Hi, yesterday I went to my Sleep Study Specialist and asked some questions. I wanted to know if I indeed stopped breathing at night and sure enough the answer was YES. I was told that I stopped breathing 35 times per minute, that is a frightening amount to me. Two things are going on with me, the fi...

I am still only 2 months into using CPAP therapy, the doc said that I went right to sleep when the machine was set at 40. But, he sent me home with my machine set at 10. What do these numbers mean? The only time that I can tell that my CPAP is pumping air is when I open my mouth(I am not an open mou...

I am having a tough time with this whole situation. I am even having a hard time keeping the equipment cleaned. I have NO energy(mental &physical), just the thought of having to do this daily is mentally exhausting for me. My brain j!ust does not want to even go there. I dread the very thought of it...

Thank you so very much for responding to me and for the great advice,I sure do need it right now. Presently, my machine is set at 10, which is really too low. My doc wants to eventually set it on 40 because my Oxygen levels drops down to 80, no small wonder that I am a living Zombi all of the time. ...

Thank you for your guidance. I do feel and a bit lost around here. What do I post, in where a Newbie Should Start
