"Cadence of Breathing Cycle"...Asthma... and Bipap ??

Post by MFRep » Sun Jun 07, 2020 11:20 am

Newbie. Thanks for being here. I

My question: Im currently compliant on BIPAP (17/13).......but I notice that occasionally I awaken feeling
beat-up. Like im struggling to breathe, even though the pulse-ox is 98 percent.

Its seems as if this condition can last for a couple days, and "Trigger" my asthma.

THEORIES: Ive been speculating about it, and it seems like it might be the "cadence"/ pattern/ frequency/ or effort
of the breathing process is offset a little bit?

Im gonna download sleepyhead, and see if theres something there in the data.

My second theory is that im clamping my mouth shut, and struggling to draw air through
my nose all night, getting more or less waterboarded. Thanks.
