Sleep apnea treated with Bipap and still tired?
Posted by: Alan in Obstructive Sleep Apnea, tags: Apnea., Bipap, Sleep, still, Tired, Treated
Could mouth breathing be the culprit since I only use a nasal mask, still only able to stay up 12 hours a day. Plus I take stimulant medication for fatigue, provigl and dexedrine at fairly high doses. Its becoming frustrating I feel groggy and physically weak but not as tired as I was before treatment. Plus I don’t get severe sleep attacks like I did before so it is somewhat working. Any help would be great.

i don’t notice any extra energy from the cpap machine but i don’t wake up at night like i allways did before so it must do some work but not everything they say. i had a sleep test done and the said i stopped breathing about 45 times an hour sometimes up to a minute at a time, that is definitely news i wanted to hear. i also have the nasal mask, it is annoying enough that i would not want a full facial mask

Maybe you are having a reaction to the medication. It does take time to feel better. They may need to adress the pressures as the sleep study is only a one night snap shot. I am interested in what else is going on. You just don’t get bipap. You need to qualify for it. CPAP is what the majority of sleep apnea patients get. Stick in there
Bipap saved my life.
