Re: Very odd breathing pattern during sleep

If you post it, we can help with interpretation... did you get the link for posting to Imgur.com? Sure, that would be great. I know how to take a screenshot and post it on imgur; is there a particular imgur account people use here to post something on the forum? Also, would I screenshot all of the ...

Re: Very odd breathing pattern during sleep

I think I would want to see the actual reports of that sustained high breathing rate for myself...but that's just me. Exactly which brand and model of machine are you using? SleeyHead software will show respiration rate if the machine shows it and I would want to see it myself. It's not that I don'...

Re: Very odd breathing pattern during sleep

I am surprised that you were given Lunesta because it is counter indicative if you have Breathing Disorder. Are you me-gedor? Thanks for that info! I'm going to try the new mask I just got for a couple of days and see what that does without adding Lunesta. In the meantime, I'll ask the doc if it's ...

Re: I may have become a science experiment

Janknitz--thank you for that very reasonable feedback & advice! Unfortunately, I am sometimes a "zebra" since I have autoimmune issues and other stuff all tied up in it, so I often worry about docs writing things off too quickly. You're correct, though, that if it's neurogenic or otherwise not panic...

Very odd breathing pattern during sleep

Hi: I'm new to the forum today. I posted a similar question a few minutes ago, but since it was on a very old thread I figured I should also start a new one. I was diagnosed with OSA and have been using CPAP for 2-3 weeks. I've had a very difficult time with it--I have a long-term problem with anxie...

Re: I may have become a science experiment

I see that this is a *very* old thread.But on the off chance the OP is still on it--I learned today that I'm having a very similar phenomenon according to the CPAP data my respiratory therapist/DME provider showed me. I consistently breathe 10-12 bpm while I'm awake/falling asleep, then it abruptly ...
