Answer by SkyPilot
Since he isn’t getting enough oxygen due to the COPD he needs as much as he can get. He is in no danger of death from too much oxygen.

Question by : Am I the only one this happens to? Waking up @ night feeling like I can’t breath or that I’m dying in my sleep?
I was wondering if I’m the only one who has had this problem. Basically, soon after I fall asleep… anywhere from right after I doze off up until 1-2 hours I will wake up in a daze feeling as if my lungs are tight and I can’t move any air until after I wake up fully. It doesn’t happen past an hour or 2 of being asleep.

This will happen almost every night for a while, and then it will go away completely and won’t happen at all for months at a time, only to start up again happening almost every night after many months have gone by.

I had a sleep test done in the hospital and nothing happened that night but I was told that my test was normal and I don’t even have sleep apnea.

Question by ignitkrit: HELP ME!! My husband has sleep apnea and it drives me crazy in the night!?
My husband has sleep apnea…very badly. His snoring is out of this world LOUD. He’s seen a sleep doctor and has a breathing machine he must wear at night. I know this is uncomfortable for him to wear and a lot of times he doesn’t. So, I’m listening to him snore and getting mad at him for my loss of sleep! Now, I feel really bad for him that he has this condition and has to wear the mask at night. But when he doesn’t wear it he hacks and coughs for hours after he wakes up. It’s not completely selfish of me because I hate to see him suffering like that in the morning. I just am at my wits end. I feel like I’m being mean and nagging when I ask him to wear it and when he doesn’t I ask him to sleep in the other room. What should I do???
