RAINOUT AFFECTING MY LUNGS- HELP PLEASE

Desperate for help. My lungs are being affected and today I am struggling to breathe from all the rainout going into my lungs. I am constantly either coughing from the water and have dry mouth every single day. Or I get stuffy, congested nose with a headache. What am I doing wrong? What am I missing...

Re: Raw and Red nostrils from Bleep mask

Thanks everyone. I texted Stuart and he also gave me some great advice too. I have other masks here which I’ll have to use until this heals. I appreciate everyone’s posts.

Re: Raw and Red nostrils from Bleep mask

Hi. I’m going to buy some witch hazel and neosporin today. Didn’t know that’s an option to use.

Skin barrier? Will the tape still stick to it? Thanks for responding.

Raw and Red nostrils from Bleep mask

Hi, I’ve been using the Dreamports Bleep mask and under my nostrils is raw, red, has bumps and hurts like a mother. It’s only been this way since using alcohol swab and the dreamports. Alcohol is burning the area and hurts a lot due to the rawness of under the nostrils. Suggestions, anyone please? I...

Hi Julie,

No, it’s nice and cold. I like it at 76 at night. It’s Arizona so it gets really hot outside. Thanks

Hi,

No meds and no mental health of physical issues happening.


If I’m waking up a lot, wouldn’t the leaks cause that?

So Nothing stands out for you in the graph that could be causing me to wake up. Ok thanks

Re: My graph - Can you all please look at? Thx

Hi Pugsy, Thanks for responding and looking at the chart. I can’t tell what it means honestly and if what is showing up isn’t good. I feel exhausted today. Same as I do every day. Today I feel I have to go back to sleep the minute I woke up this morning. This is the way it feels everyday. I sleep du...

Re: My graph - Can you all please look at? Thx

And I don’t know if the leaks are waking me up. I do know I’m fiddling with the Bleep mask a lot as I think that has a leak and I’m waiting to receive a new one.
Last night, same thing.

Are we supposed to get hyponeas when using APAP or CPAP?
Those don’t go away?

Re: My graph - Can you all please look at? Thx

I thought I did in the earlier post. No meds, no mental health issues. I sleep maybe 2-4 hours a night. And this is interrupted sleep. I made the graphs according to what Oscar said to do in the manual. Thanks

Re: My graph - Can you all please look at? Thx

So weird cuz I followed Oscar’s manual instructions on exactly what to put in the graph. No meds, no mh issues. Something is waking me up throughout the night. I guess I’ll wait to see my sleep doctor. When I looked at it on my computer, I saw a lot of events during the night. [emoji2368] oh well, I...

Re: My graph - Can you all please look at? Thx

Hi Julie!! Thanks for the encouragement. Lol To me this graph looks horrible. With a lot of apnea’s and OSA. Maybe I’m not understanding this at all. I’m feeling horrible. Sleep deprived. I’m not sleeping well, wake up throughout the night when I am asleep. I don’t know if I’m in REM sleep but I do ...
