oxygen or cpap?

Post by herefishy » Tue Feb 16, 2016 8:45 am

One of the other posters said his doc offered him oxygen or cpap, and just wanted to mention maybe the only smart thing my sleep doc ever did/said to help me. After he had tried me on oxygen for a while, he said I needed cpap, as I was not getting enough air at night because of the apnea. Didn't matter how much oxygen was in the air, if it wasn't getting into me, it wasn't going to help. Been a happy paper since.

I was put on night time oxygen until I could get tested and start burlap treatment.

I've heard Okies do things differently.
