Sleep apnea almost cured

[BillOh 15]

I'm totally off my blood pressure medicine and my average daily BP is 117/75. I went to the sleep doctor this week and I am almost cured of sleep apnea. We monitored my oxygen level overnight and while still technically I exhibit minor sleep apnea, it is a considerable improvement over what it was last year. The doctor has no doubt that after another 15-20 I should be back at normal levels. That certainly adds to the motivation.

Very cool that you are one of the lucky few that are able to leave CPAP behind, Bill. Sounds like you're doing great. Keep up the good work.

That's great, I want to be able to leave my C-pap behind also.

Keep up the good work:smile2:

I still use my cpap, but if I dont use it, I don't feel the tiredness that I did feel prior togetting my cpap. I have lost 65 lbs.The thing is. My DH snores badly (he actually needs the cpap now), so whenI put on my mask, I am aslep within a cople minutes. So I continue to use because of his snoring. Ther are some nights I dont use. I don't pack and take with me overnight anymore. I work at exerciseing min 1.5 hr /day so I am tired whenI go to bed. :crying:

If we didn't live so far apart, we could smash them together. Actually, you can't sell them because they are a prescription, maybe their is a charity you can donate them to?
