Sideffects of CPAP for sleep apnea? And moneysaving treatments for side-effects?

KAAT_LADY

HI THERE

as I cant sleep I thought I would look up the sleeping tabs that I did not take last night

and guess what

it causes sleep apnoea syndrome

Contraindications:
Myasthenia gravis, sleep apnea syndrome, severe hepatic insufficiency, previous paradoxical reactions to alcohol and/or sedative medications

will have to look up the others

Myasthenia gravis (literally "serious muscle-weakness"; from Greek μύς "muscle", ἀσθένεια "weakness", and Latin gravis "serious"; abbreviated MG) is a neuromuscular disease leading to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatiguability. It is an autoimmune disorder, in which weakness is caused by circulating antibodies that block acetylcholine receptors at the post-synaptic neuromuscular junction,[1] inhibiting the stimulative effect of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Myasthenia is treated medically with cholinesterase inhibitors or immunosuppressants, and, in selected cases, thymectomy. At 200–400 cases per million it is one of the less common autoimmune disorders.[1]



hepatic insufficiency

Defective functional activity of the liver cells.

Hi KAAT_LADY yes you probably are being TOO worried, but I think I would be the same. You are right to be concerned, go see the Dr explain what your husband described of your sleeping and gasping for breath, and also that you are worried that the pills could be causing it. Hope he get's you sorted out, try not to worry too much, easier said than done. Let us know how you get on.

Guess that's where the origin of the saying "Kill or Cure" comes from:o It would certainly put me off taking any more....

Violetta_2

Hi KAAT so glad your on the mend but please look after yourself NO MORE FALLING THROUGH THE CEILING (sorry for shouting but you must be told, it's not a good thing to do) OK!
Hi BigMummaF I'm fine bit fed up with work it's been stressful for months now, just doesn't seem to let up and it's all the hassle from above (managers ect, not god bloke) that makes it worse. Just wish we had enough money so I could stay at home with my dd. Shouldn't moan, sorry I only work pt and there are much worse job's out there. How are you getting on? Well I hope.
