Re: Drowning. Where do I go from here?

Bump. And an update. Apologies if this sounds miserable; I'm doing my best to look on the bright side of life but I'm just worn out after years of trying to feel better. The last few weeks have been terrible for me as I've got really depressed and the only thing bothering me is how tired and letharg...

Re: Drowning. Where do I go from here?

My apologies for not responding earlier. I didn't realise that there'd been a response and have only just read it. In direct response to your question, bruxism is possible. Neither I nor my wife are aware of me doing it, my molars show no signs but my incisors are wearing as if they are rubbing toge...

Re: Drowning. Where do I go from here?

Thank you. I did address the possibility of Diabetes after a home blood sugar tester showed morning fasting levels around 6.5-7.0. All my adult life I've avoided sugar; no sugar in hot drinks, minimise fizzy drinks etc, avoid 'energy' drinks (mainly because when I tried them the come-down outweighed...

Re: Drowning. Where do I go from here?

Thank you. I'm in the UK, I've added info to my profile to show this. I don't think the Modafinil is an issue. It post-dates the start of my issues and I've taken breaks from it in order to check that and whether it's giving me side effects (eg depression and memory problems are listed), all without...

Re: Drowning. Where do I go from here?

Thank you, all. I'll do my best to answer your questions. I am, though, looking more for inspiration or a big picture than tidying up details. I see my issues going back to the start of adulthood, so is there a development issue? If bipap has given me excellent AHI yet made so little overall improve...

Drowning. Where do I go from here?

Firstly, my apologies if I'm off track here. I'm really struggling and don't know what else to do. I feel cr@p and tired during the day. My get-up-and-go has disappeared and doing anything other than sitting and vegetating is a struggle. Doing anything requires me to make a mental effort seemingly l...

Re: Psychosomatic Issues

Thanks. I've used that site a few times, albeit the help I got was a bit limited. I don't want to take this thread at a tangent (I'm looking for people's experience and thoughts on psychosomatic issues and, after all, the forum's for CPAP), but coming off Imipramine/Tofranil and Gabapentin/Neorontin...

Psychosomatic Issues

Is anyone interested in psychosomatic links to Sleep Apnea or other health issues they're addressing? I've been using a CPAP machine for a couple of years' now. I've been spending a lot of time recently looking at possible psychosomatic causes of the health issues that I''m addressing (mental fatigu...

Neck pain after switch to Resmed N20

Has anyone had neck pain after using a Resmed N20 or Resmed F20 and, if so, what have they found helped? I ask as the first time I used an N20 with its stiffer straps I woke up with a neck pain. That was over a month ago and I still have the pain despite trying several different pillows, including a...

Re: Panic Over Breathing During Exercise

I did one run before I got involved ins something that's taken all my time since then. I did get some results, although my pulse oximeter stopped working and I could only intermittently see my pulse rate on my GPS device: with a recommended maximum heart rate for may age of 168-170 bpm and a predomi...

Re: Panic Over Breathing During Exercise

Thank you, everyone, for your wonderfully helpful and supportive comments (with the odd laugh too). I feel a bit overwhelmed. Quite clearly the consensus is that CPAP is highly unlikely to be the source of my problems and that I should see my doctor, where my being able to rule out CPAP will be a bi...

Panic Over Breathing During Exercise

I've done a search here but have found nothing on my concern: have people had feelings of panic over breathing during exercise since starting CPAP? This is very different to feeling panic under CPAP at night. Background I've been on CPAP for some 4 months now, I adapted easily to it (Resmed S9 with ...
