anyway I am still wheezing sometimes especially with exercise my FEV1 levels aren't going up on symbicort
you know I need to wade through a lot of this info which contradicts-
I am just worried about brain damage and sleep apnea ruining my career- the problem is my hand takes off the mask in my sleep
I love that -" my hand takes off the mask in my sleep".
We haven't heard anything from you lately, how are you getting along with the sinus stuff, sore throat, asthma, and centrals? You should keep us posted. Maybe answer some questions other members and myself have posted such as have you seen your sleep doc about your concern over centrals. Your profile still lists the BiPap ST, did you change machines? How long have you been on the machine? No machine will treat OSA or centrals if you keep taking the mask off.
Good luck, keep us posted, don't leave us hanging.
