I have been on c-pap treatment for a little over 2 months. I am still just as tired all the time as I was before the treatment. Is this to be expected.?

This is not common at all. Most patients feel the exact opposite. In fact, most patients feel immediate relief. You should go back to your Dr. Maybe some adjustments need to be made. You may not have the machine set at good setting for you. Also, if your mask does not have a tight fit to help seal it then it won’t really work at all. A loose connection could be a non-conforming or not tight mask and even a loose connection. Contact your Dr. and he can help check those adjustments. He/She may even take away or add inspiratory pressure.

Good luck.

I’ve had several test where overnight I wore the thing on my finger to test my oxygen saturation levels, and apparently the levels went down because now the Dr. has ordered an oxygen concentrator to wear at night. We’re doing another oxygen level test in a few weeks, to see if the concentrator helps. I’m just wondering if this is a normal first step, because I see a lot of people on here use other things. I’ve also noticed that I’m waking up with horrible headeaches after sleeping with the oxygen, is that normal?
It’s just a normal concentrator with a humidifier bottle and nasal canula. I don’t think the headaches are from it being too tight, because it only goes over my ears and is just tight enough that it doesn’t fall off.

Usually when you get headaches it’s from lack of oxygen, I used to get those heaps but once i went on oxygen they cleared up straight away. If you think the prongs are too tight just hook them up underneath your nose and tighten at the back of your head, I do that because it feels like my ears are being pushed out the other way lol. As for the headaches, talk to your doctor and see what can be done, you may not be getting enough oxygen at night and might have to put it up higher.

I am on a converter that takes rooom air and turns it into a higher oxygen level and find it hard to believe i have that problem since only sleep 2-4 hours off and on a night! But that is what tests for my oxygen intake showed so giving it a try. Do you use the converter rather than an oxygen tank? How are you doing. How long have you had this?
Bagbalm-I want to sleep,not get sloshed-besides I don’t drink.

A fifth of Jack Daniels, will cure any sleeping problem.

Guys I just wonder what’s the best insomnia treatment besides milk and exercises? Because I have tried nearly all of the insomnia treatments mentioned by most people, but it didn’t better my insomnia, I only got 2-4 hours sleep each day and feeling very tired in the daytime, help me please!!!

If you want to find the best insomnia treatment,you should not miss a book called "Who move my insomnia", written by Dr Brown.K
there are quite a bunch of clever ways for you, for instance, how to take sleeping pills without getting addicted.

I have a patient with mild obstructive sleep apnea, who had Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery recently after a Myocadial Infarction, and now he is recovering well 5 days post-op but his sleep apnea has worsened and he can’t get any sleep ever since the surgery.
do you have any suggestion or any management options to offer?
thanks a lot !

Cardiac asthma suspected.

is there anybody out there that have sleep apnea if what treatment do you use

1. You need to have a sleep study done by a sleep specialist.
2. A CPAP or a BiPAP is the only treatment….while losing weight will be suggested…the IMMEDIATE treatment is the CPAP. It’s not that uncomfortable !
3. Breath-Rite strips are useless for someone who REALLY has sleep apnea. And the mis-conception that they help with sleep apnea is not only ignorant; but DANGEROUS !
4. Most throat surgeries won’t help.
5. A person doesn’t have to be overweight to have sleep apnea. There are different kinds of sleep apnea.
6. Sleep apnea can cause many health problems; high blood pressure, and heart problems are just a few. People with sleep apnea can have their drivers’ license, car insurance and car tags revoked if you are not doing your treatments !

I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea 3 years ago; at my top weight of 333 pounds. I was averaging 63 events per hour, and had heart problems and high blood pressure from it. I had a gastric bypass, have lost 135 pounds so far; and just had another sleep study last week….NO MORE SLEEP APNEA !!

Please see a sleep specialist and follow their advice !

cpap, bipap, autopap, possibly dental device.

surgery is only 50 percent effective

If overweight, weight loss may cure sleep apnea but need to treat in the short term.

Best wishes
