Stress induced by a sinus congestion that went untreated! I had these same symptoms minus the shingles and I went to the doc for a sinus infection.

I use the Resmed – it’s very good – very quiet, get the humidifier attachment and the gel mask. The humidifier tank detaches and is easy to fill and clean (a lot of them are difficult to clean).

Question by jonathan f: what’s the difference between cpap machine and cpap humidifier?
I have severe sleep apnea. I have not recieved my cpap machine in a month. I am trying to study my sympthoms and find out different kids of treatments. whats the difference between these two?

Best answer:

Answer by SethSpeaks
The humidifier is an accessory to the cpap machine. Usually these days it is just built into it. It adds moisture to the air you are breathing so you don’t have irritated sinuses. I’ve been on CPAP 15 yrs. Definitely get a model with a humidifier.

Best answer:

Answer by Natasha
instead of looking on YA for answers try talking to some specialists. and may i ask how your sons arm was broke in 6 places and healing before you even knew??? i would think he would have been in so much pain that he would have been irritable enough that you would have taken him in before it started healing.

Q&A: Trying to figure out what’s wrong with me?

Alan — Fri, 06 May 2011 18:35:39 +0000

Question by Matt H: Trying to figure out what’s wrong with me?
I used to have really painful and frequent heartburn when I was younger. I went to my doctor and they put a camera down my throat and into my stomach where they found a large amount of redness and bleeding. My doctor diagnosed me with gastritis and put me on medication to treat it. It worked for a while but shortly after I was unable to afford the medication and I didn’t think I needed it anyways as I was experiencing no more symptoms. Recently (last 3 years or so) I have been getting the heartburn more and more and I have noticed other symptoms. When I was in high school I was a great student, 4.0 GPA, sports, extracurricular activities, etc. During my senior year I lost my motivation to do…anything basically. Im 20 now and I’ve since flunked out of 2 colleges due to an inability to concentrate. When I was reading my textbooks I couldn’t remember even the last sentence I had just read. I was also diagnosed with sleep apnea to which i contributed the loss of concentration but I remember having all the symptoms of sleep apnea well before my lack of concentration. I was reading up on anemia and possibly saw a connection with the slow bleeding in my stomach from the gastritis and the recent lack of focus. Does anyone have any other ideas or advice for me?
Unfortunately I’m not on the medication, I haven’t been able to go to the doctor due to the fact that I no longer have insurance because of flunking out of college. So I haven’t been able to afford a visit yet.
yes i do feel weak and tired but i just piled this into the sleep apnea category. So basically what you guys are saying is I need to go to the doctor asap?

I have sleep apnea and I am told I am getting a bipap machine. What’s the differnece between a cpap and bipap?

Question by KAREN R: I have sleep apnea and I am told I am getting a bipap machine. What’s the differnece between a cpap and bipap?

Best answer:

Answer by Remy
Hello Karen!

I know that CPAP treats sleep apnea by using air pressure to keep the airways from your nose and mouth more open while you sleep.

But Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure:

* provides two pressure levels, one during inhalation and a lower one during exhalation.

* the air is delivered by a nasal mask or face mask.

* are used in older children and in infants as well.

* are smaller, less expensive and generally easier to use than conventional ventilators.

* BPAP devices are adequate for nocturnal ventilation and may improve blood oxygen level.

I hope it helps!

Question by henson: What’s the percentage of people with Bipolar Disorder that also have Sleep Paralasis?

Best answer:

Answer by sticky note
I don’t think there is a statistic out there, because the two don’t go together, and no one knows what sleep paralysis is from. Maybe you can become a researcher and discover a link to this disorder!
