for anyone on bi-pap

I've never had bi-pap, because I didn't want it. But reading all the positive stories the past few years I wish I would have said yes.

I think what you said about your body getting used to not having to work so hard at night might be why you feel more short of breathe during the day.
It's the same as when surgeon's don't want to do general aneasthetics when your lungfunction is low. This is because of the fear that the lungs (or your body) won't pick up when taken off the vent.

Hey Juliepie. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I also have bipap at night. Your sister could be right. But also, you should definitely talk to your doctor about it..Because they may need to adjust the pressures on it. It is possible that they have it set to high. That's just my suggestion! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I hate my bipap, It doesn't make me feel better at all! lol

I have a CPAP and it is the hardest thing to get use to. I have had it for 3 months and maybe used it a dozen times. I was diagnosed for sleep apnea.

I am wondering if a Bi PAP would be better?
