Constant Halo Headaches-Philips Respironics DS1 & REMstar System 1

Post by angood11 » Sun Oct 31, 2021 7:48 pm

I am trying to find out if it is possible to have a constant halo type headache starting at the temples going around to the back of my head and being extremely tired even after a full nights sleep. Both of my Philips Respironics Dream Station 1 and REMstar System 1 (both are on the recall list do to the foam degradation issue). I take certain medications for medical issues, but none have changed and none have caused the above issues. A FDA states due to the issue with the DS1 can cause headaches, extreme exhaustion, asthma, respiratory issues, and a host other issues.

Just thought I would ask the question here as someone gave me this site for input or advice. Attached is the FDA article.

Can you please download Oscar (see Stickies) and post results here so experts can see what's going on overnight and advise. Even if others have similar headaches or other symptoms that still does not mean they are otherwise the same as yours or that background, etc. can be assumed to be the same. We're all well aware of the recall (see other notes top of the page here) but don't believe in diagnosing anyone based on guesses - plus we are not doctors.
