Just started using a BIPAP machine for sleep apnea, after 3 usages between naps and overnight sleeping, ive felt some lung discomfort/soreness. How common is this for people just starting on a machine like this, and at what point should I be worried?
>>77268915what did your doctor say?
>>77268915Yeah it takes awhile to get supremely used to it.I assume it's been dialed in by your cardio doctor after your sleep study results. A lower pressure on exhale and bit higher on inhale.A unit with a humidifier can help dry throat.I used mine for ten+ years before it died on me. I felt like I was suffocating on it a few times in the beginning. But after a few weeks it was heavenly. Rock solid 8 hours deep healing sleep, every day. Never felt better and my health issues related to apnea, low blood oxygen, gaining weight, skin issues immediately changed for better. Have been without a machine for about a year now. I sleep well enough, but I want that quality sleep that I was getting guaranteed with my machine. I sleep with nose breathing now and on my side. Roommates say I don't snore at all. Lose weight. Work on aerobic conditioning.
>>77268955Just to clarify, you were experiencing some soreness in your lungs when starting out? Ive been warned about gas in your stomach, but I dont recall going over lung discomfort and was wondering if this was standard for most people
>>77268972Maybe. More dryness. Sometimes my breathing rhythm goes off and I get air into stomach and wake up and get air out by burps.But lungs, not really. Get to the docs and maybe your machine isn't calibrated for you.
>>77268915More like a BRAP machine hahahahahahahahaha
>>77268915What made you try BIPAP? I've tried CPAP for suspected UARS but I didn't feel that it made a big difference. I was thinking of trying BIPAP next.
>>77269064That's the first thing they've put me on. Said my sleep apnea was too severe for regular CPAP
>>77268915turn up the humidity on it
>>77268915>having to use a machine to fucking BREATHE while SLEEPING>treating the symptoms and not the causeAmericans.
>>77268955>health issues related to apneawhat issues are related to apnea?
Strapping a machine to your face just to sleep. Pathetic.
