Clean Start """

[Papa Van Smack]

Do you guys who have sleep apnea did you constantly feel tired before you got the cpap? I sleep 8-9 hrs and feel great I don’t snore much unless I fall asleep in a weird position. I weigh 260 so I do worry though if I have sleep apnea

Yes. It took me probably 4 months to adjust to sleeping with the mask on. Now, I love it. That clean crisp air puts me right out.

Prior to the sleep study I was falling asleep driving, at work, naps after work. It was realizing I'd dozed off on the highway when I decided to get checked out.

All the time. It elevated my hematocrit and rbc as well

I got one for my GERD. Works great and helped my wife's snoring big time.

 

[FrancisK]

Yes I have and it helps. It’s why hospitals always raise the head of your bed. They sell bed risers for this purpose, or you could improvise

Thanks brother, risers under the legs wouldn't work for my kind of bed I just picked this guy up...

MedCline reflux wedge pillow. Expensive $ but worth it! Barretts esophagus "can" lead to esophageal cancer. Worse case scenario if you don't control your GERD.

Perfect solution

Since taking Dr. Ohhira's probiotics my acid reflux is almost nonexistent even when using tren or eating 7,000-8,000 calories a day. Big A and a few board members have also had success with it.

Wow, reading this post I'm thinking to myself "Jeez, and I thought I had problems". Nothing compared to you guys.
I hope someones got the answer for you and I hope your problems resolve quickly.

I did not go through all the reply but I think I have a solution that I'm pretty confident it will help you.

For the acid reflux get Dexilant 30mgs, take 1 capsule once daily first thing in the morning. Dexilant seems to work better than other PPIs and easier on the system.

Fir your chronic hiccups, take Baclofen 10mgs once in the morning and once before bed. Do that for 2 to 3 weeks. In mist cases hiccups will stop in the second day. How do I know? I went through the same shit, hiccups for 9 to 12 hours a day, every day for a 14 months straight. I was suicidal by the end until a specialist who did my endoscopy told me he had few patients with extreme chronic hiccups and Baclofen fixed them.

Thank me later.

Well god forbid that one day someone isn’t thinking the same about you….

That was kinda my point... sometimes we give lip service to health related issues BP, liver, kidneys, water intake, how long you can run various compounds safely, etc. But then we still take chances anyway sometimes. A thread like this reminds all of us that things can go sideways for anyone, better to think twice before taking chances by pushing it.

Not saying they're problems are AAS related but you never know.

This is Why i Love this Board"

I have tried the CPAP, Gotta be 8 yrs ago..I had it to the lowest setting and the find it hard to Exhale. Wake up chocking on my own Carbon dioxide.
That and the sound of Darth Vader breathing made things worse. I'll look into alternatives NOW for sure. Staying elevated does Help' till I roll Over! Ill look into these pillows but altering the Whole bed may be an Issue ?
Winters are the worst as I put on 15-25 pounds... Summer i have a lot less symptoms at 250pds and a mostly liquid shake diet.
Funny how i Hate Meds but swallow a host of Vitamins daily...You name it i Take it" which maybe part of the Problem??? and then the Orals I Love! there Soo damn easy to add in....
I have run a few days here and there of the Dr. Ohhiras Propolis and Probiotics.. Adding them in currently to try and maintain my Cleaning.
I have noticed any kind of Methylated steroids hit My Gerd Hard! But again, the gains are instant and hard to defer.
I'll give the Dexilant and Baclofen a Try...Still waiting on Dr.s Script" Never sent it Out.. Complete Incompetence""" I would rather ask YOU than these Dr's that Miss diagnose, Mistreat and or over Medicate.

No Trust in them ever since they said I was Clinically Obese and need to exercise and lose weight.....

Your cpap was set incorrectly. I set my own, currently 14 is my pressure setting.

 

[concreter]

So, they Told Me... Ill look into a new machine or have it calibrated if No other options are Available"

I'm in Canada, I can probably help you out and point you to a 100 percent trusted online website where you can get that stuff and other meds. However, customs might be an issue. Also in case they don't ship to the US message me and I'll help you out.

That’s because you used it 8 years ago. They’ve advanced enough that you can set the ramp so it doesn’t start blowing air until it senses you’ve fallen asleep. Much better

Same, I have a resmed, I love it.

While we're here, discussing the sleep/Gerd issues that we seem to share. I'd like to know if anyone also has these symptoms also.

Do you puke every day?
Excessive nasal drainage?
Sometimes the esophagus closes on its own for a few seconds? Like your suffocating.


I can also vouch for dexliant, great stuff. I cycle between that, nexium, and protonix every few months. I find switching them up keeps them effective.

I use a resmed as well.
I used to like non stop for about 24 hours at a time 1-3 days a week. This turned out to be from suppressing acid too much with proton pump inhibitors. My food would putrefy in my stomach and essentially give me food poisoning. This was fixed by stopping omeprazole and using betaine hcl to build up acid.
Yes on the nasal drainage. Especially when eating. My nose runs like I’m eating something spicy no matter what it is and I have a lot of pleghm in my throat for awhile afterwards.
And I often choke on food because my esophagus is narrowed(eosinophilic esophagitis) from acid damage

How did you dose the betain? We that an uncomfortable transition or immediate relief?
