One important thing is you have to choose a Nursing Service before moving out
of the Nursing Home.

Oxygen will resolve the “low
oxygen” component of sleep apnea, but not the retained (high) CO2
component of sleep apnea. CPAP does better with ventilation needed to reduce
CO2.
Your doctor can discuss both with you,
and their significance in your case.

I have severe sleep apena and use a cpap
machine w/ quanto mask.
It sucks wearing the mask.I've tried many
masks and one that you bite.
I put key rings on the bottom straps so
that I can take it on and off but I still have troubles getting it to not leak.
I might wear it all night a few nights per
week. Depends on tiredness.I live alone.
I think oxygen would be much easier to
deal with. I did not know it was an option for apena.

Whow, what a wild
ride. I have not been feeling good for the last few weeks and on Saturday
evening after getting into bed I felt short of breath. My wife was in the
kitchen, and ask if I was okay, but was able to take on much conversation.
As the moments when on it was clear I needed to call an ambulance. After
losing consciousness, I finally came to in the ambulance as we went to the
hospital.
Well, one doctor thinks pneumonia the
other bronchitis. Thinking was that my airway got clogged with mucus and
I could not breathe. Now, the stupid doctors have me on or medications
that I can name, a nebulizer and oxygen while I sleep.
I've never had any issues like this in
the past, and I don't expect to have another, but then again that may
change. Can anyone give me a little insight into the following:
Does anyone use oxygen while they
sleep? The doctor says I have sleep apnea and that I need it. My
injury is C-5/6.
Anybody have issues with a lot of mucus
eventually shutting off your breathing?
Also would like to hear what medications
you are on
Thanks,
Glenn Henry
