I had a sleep study done over a year ago which I am today going to get my records for that for more info for you all, I did use my machine religiously for 6 months, all with BAD side effects, 1st I was still very fatigued, woke up each day stomach distened and gas for hours, eyes swollen and tearing for hours, I have used or tried 6 different mask from nose to full face all with same outcome.
I now went to another doctor which gave me ANOTHER sleep study WHY I ASK MYSELF, but did so 2 nights ago, this is at UPMC sleep lung center so I THOUGHT it would be good and this time it was a BiPaP study!
Got to bed around 10pm did fall asleep awoke about 2am cause mouth was WIDE OPEN and dried out tongue dry lips dry, and there was a humidifier working or not i do not know, well a few other times during that sleep I woke up cause of mask noise leaking and tightened each time, I rang the bell at 2am tech come in, I ask how did it look on your end he said I slept rem for about 1 hour and all was fine I said bullshit, I was lying here with pressure so much it forced open my mouth and kept it open he said he saw no high pressures SO HE SAID! SO I QUIT and went home, he said there was enough done to have a study and I felt I would not gain anything in 2 more hours!
NOW I AM BACK TO MY CPAP MACHINE AND ALL THE PROBLEMS DESCRIBED ABOVE WHAT DO I DO FOR RELIEF HERE FOLKS.
CAN I GET MINE TO WORK FOR ME, it seems sometime during the night when and obstruction happens it deverts the air from my lungs to my stomach, JUST A GUESS ON MY PART, but I do not feel any better even after 6 months!
BUT I DO HAVE SLEEP APNEA, had a blood gas test thye other day and PO2 was 64% so that shows I am deprived?????????????????????????????
