I called and canceled my sleep study for tonight I thought it the best thing to do since I am still having breathing difficulties and whatever this virus or respiratory infection is its lasted like two months now or almost two months tired of this living this way but what can I do I will continue trying to use my current CPAP machine until I can get in to have my sleep study at the sleep clinic I rescheduled it for December the 7 2024 hoping I am better by then they said to let them know either way if I can come or have to cancel again

I’m sorry you’re dealing with these respiratory issues. Last summer i experienced a cold that wouldn’t get better and ended up with a COPD diagnosis. It is much better now with an inhaler. It’s amazing how we take breathing for granted until when suddenly we can’t. I hope you feel better soon…

Thanks I dont think I have COPD all the doctors I been too said I didnt have that or asthma either they did give me two inhalers to help open up my airways it helped me in the past to get better I had the same thing I am having now about the same time last year hope this isnt going to be a yearly illness But it most likely will be plus I think I was born with bad sinuses as well always have problems with my sinuses and I am having that too on top of the breathing issues what next this is beyond frustrating

I am having issues with persistently clogged sinuses. I got one of those Navage things that is like an automatic neti pot. It helps as does using a steamer to inhale hot steam for ten min at a time. It is unclogging me.

Im heavy too even more so now that I have been sick with breathing issues for two months now Ive gained since being sick according to my digital scale I gained somewhere close to 11 or 12 pounds I need to get back to the gym and get this weight I gained back off but gyms are full.of germs where some people dont disinfect the equipment before and after they use it or they could.be carriers of.Viruses I dont need to catch anything else on top of what I have so I will have to wait to get back to the gymin the meantime going to get some Alli weightloss pills to help maybe curb my over the top appetite since being sick usually you dont feel like eating not me been eating like crazy that could also be the reason I gained some weight and I think cold medicine can make you gain weight or increase your appetite I dont know for sure but I think it can

I hope you’ll be okay. I don’t like going to my regular doctor sometimes. My dad was on oxygen til he died. He was a lifelong smoker. That’s not very far away. Dec 7th.
