for anyone on bi-pap

[bethylove]

hey julie,
it's your sister here... down the hall at 3 am because i've become an insomniac. ANYWAYS, I was brainstorming about it and I have a theory. What if, since the bi-pap, is pushing air into your lungs at night, it is making parts of your lungs work, that haven't worked in a long time. Air gets pushed down into your 'dead zones' or whatever, you know what I mean? And when you come off it in the morning, they are sore because you've just worked them out all night. Like 300 situps --- for your lungs. And then when you put it back on, it works the out, but supports them, so it appears that you aren't strained anymore.

Sigh, anyways, that's my theory. See you in the morning. I think I might make muffins.

I think your sister may have a point...I know my lungs always hurt for a while in the hospital when everything starts to open up. I think that when air gets into areas that it hasn't been to in a while it can be painful.

thanks for the input everyone! Could be that I am just not used to using all my airways... I don't think I'm de-satting though, I usually run about 94 on room air without o2. I think it's just one more thing to get used to... thanks!

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.
