CPAP Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Watch this… www.littleurl.net this can save you from having to have a cpap www.My6Months.com Mind Body Soul Documentary. http www.facebook.com FB ME Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) This is a bit of what I go through. Here is more on the subject: Forty-five percent of normal adults snore at least occasionally, and 25 percent are habitual snorers. Problem snoring is more frequent in males and overweight persons and it usually grows worse with age. Snoring sounds are caused when there is an obstruction to the free flow of air through the passages at the back of the mouth and nose. Only recently have the adverse medical effects of snoring and its association with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) been recognized. Various methods are used to alleviate snoring and/or OSA. They include behavior modification, sleep positioning, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), and Laser Assisted Uvula Palatoplasty (LAUP), and jaw adjustment techniques. What Is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)? Nasal CPAP delivers air into your airway through a specially designed nasal mask or pillows. The mask does not breathe for you; the flow of air creates enough pressure when you inhale to keep your airway open. CPAP is considered the most effective nonsurgical treatment for the alleviation of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. If your otolaryngologist determines that the CPAP treatment is right for …
so do i it sucks
Hey i have a question, my bf has been using the CPAP for about a year and in the beginning it helped him a lot but after a few months it didnt really do anything. They are thinking about getting UPPP or LAUP and adjusting his jaw, i guess my question is, Is it worth it?? ive heard that the UPPP only really helps for about a year after, is it still helping you with breathing now as much as it did when you first had it done?
If the power went out in the middle of the night, what would happen? Would you still be able to breathe with the mask on and no power? Just curious. Thanks.
u seem to be a smoker, maybe thats why your condition is still chronic ?
This is wonderful…. I am waiting for my 2nd sleep test as the one I did at home came back at 17x per hour… every 3 minutes! this is not hugely high but for a 38 year old it is too high. Anyhow if necessary then I will have the same op you had and if that doesnt help a CPAP… I think husband may prefer the snoring as it is rather intrusive but hey ho… a less cranky wife will have its advantages too! Thanks for a great film. It takes away the fear!
Thanks Sean. Good job. Loved the “CLAP CLAP” lights out!
i gota do a sleep test to keep my cdl which i think is bullshit. im sure they will tell me i need one.Keep letting the government run our lives we are losing all our freedoms.
People don’t need to be wearing a CPAP. We offer an alternative to the CPAP. Our patients are happy and sleeping well.
CPAP is a wonderful, benign treatment that helps lots of people. Very glad you found relief with it.
I don’t have medical qualifications but I would steer clear of prednisolone and cortisone if possible. Have you tried salt water to unblock and treat your sinusitis?
I have a deviated septum and have found that by blocking my nose with my thumb and finger and holding my breath whilst moving my head up and down it will clear. This is a buteyko method and it works every time. I suggest you see a buteyko practitioner who is alos a biochemist. who understands teh body. Good luck. Paul
@rodlaw60 I was practicing my buteyko breathing and doing really well, but my chronic sinusitis got worse and worse as my cortisone decreased, and i was back to not being able to unblock my nose, and mouth breathing, so i am right back where is tarted, and the doctors wont let me keep taking prednisolone because of all the damage it has done over the years, so i am aware how great the breathing is, but unsure what solution there is for someone like me with so many severe allergic reactions

Hi Sean I too have sleep apnoea. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnoea and have tried CPAP. Yes it provided some relief but I felt like an invalid. I had to use a chin strap as my mouth kept opening. I then discovered buteyko breathing. As a former mouth breather I was cynical but it works as CO2 acts as a regulator of my breathing. The importance of CO2 is not understood by many. Buteyko also causes you to lose weight. Please contact me if you have any queries.
that machine is a little different than mine though
Hey!! Sean I have the same mask. I have moderate sleep apnea. I am starting to think that it has graduated toward severe because my friend said I was snoring loud the other morning. I didn’t wear my mask that morning. Most times I do.
you poor soul!!! you still have to use the machine even after that operation
My Cpap Mask is a pain!
Weight loss is a priority in our apnea cases.
You overweight = you don’t sleep.
All of the doctors I went to, in different areas, told me to loose my fat.
And I am not that fat, really
Sean, I’ve had mine for about four years and even though I hate it I wouldn’t dare sleep without it. I also have 30 pounds to lose. I’m 200 and should be under 175 at 5’6″. Ideal is actually in the neighborhood of 145 but let’s get real.
Anyway, I’m surfing around looking for additional tips because even at 16cfm, I’m still waking up with my hands and arms tingling from lack of oxygen. I’ve got to do better!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am sure you have helped other people.

I’v had mine for a month and I love it, i sleep so much better
Thanks for sharing. Nice to know it is making a big difference for you.
@Hollywobble That’s fantastic! Keep at it, even through the rough times. You will thank yourself later.
I was talked into getting the swift nasal pillows, and now I RARELY wake with my mask on. I am thinking of going to a full face mask. My wife says that I will drop open my mouth and the air will go through my mouth. Did you notice the full face mask was much better than the nose mask?
