Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by moondrop000: Has anyone with sleep apnea had the CPAP NOT fix it? Have you had to quit work because you can’t function?
I am sicker every day with low oxygen. I started the CPAP a couple of weeks ago. Will it really work? How do I keep my job? I can barely think anymore. Terrified here.

If you did not go for an overnight sleep study test your machine may not be turned up enough for your specific needs. You should be able to tell the difference immediately, Back to the doctor you go. Tell the doctor that you need your machine turned up higher.

“Oxidative stress may increase the risk of asthma, contribute to asthma progression, and decrease lung function. Previous research suggests that use of acetaminophen, which is hypothesized to reduce antioxidant capacity in the lung, is associated with an increased risk of asthma. We hypothesized that acetaminophen use may also be associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and decreased lung function”.
Could High Acetaminophen use be linked to Sleep Apnea as well?
