Questions About SA

Post by DSW » Wed Jul 23, 2014 3:53 pm

I am not new to the CPAP machine or SA. Just wondering if any of you have had the same issues as me with SA. Here goes: I have been on CPAP for over 5 years. I am now a regular TAP-PAP user, aka Dental Appliance. Last night I had a violent dream that I acted out on my spouse, no injuries thank GOD! Also in the mornings my ears are plugged to the point where I am off balance. I also experience morning confusion and lethargy. I sometimes feel like I am in a fog. I take Lexapro 20mg, Singular 10mg and Prevacid 30mg everyday. I also have sensations of ants crawling and stinging my legs on occasion usually in the heat(Southeast Texas). Sometimes I have depth perception problems with vision, might be due to ears plugging. I saw a list of symptoms on here and I have a lot of them sometimes but not all the time. When my head gets plugged from sinus problems is when I experience a lot of these symptoms. Right now I feel pretty good. Any help appreciated.

DSW, Based on your descriptions, I would consult with a real doctor, rather the "experts" here.
btw, I haven't experienced any of your symptoms in my short history using CPAP. Good luck, Earl

Have you Googled "Side Effects of Singulair" to see if any make sense?

You might want to google the side effects of your other meds besides Singulair... I agree with Poppi... it would be beneficial for you to visit your primary care doctor to discuss those symptoms, even the ones that are side effects of your meds.
