Headache and Hypoxia

Lenny, didn't your dr suggest a sleep study to determine if your oxygen levels are dropping due to sleep apnea. As the others here will tell you sleep apnea can be dangerous. I have the headaches when I do not use my CPAP. Am trying nasal pillows now instead of the mask.

I have an appointment to see the pulmonary dr. later this week. He may be thinking that sleep apnea might be the problem. The biggest problem is days like today I woke up with a head ache and still can't get rid of it. I got up at 5:00 and now it's 9:30, I need to find something stronger than asprine for this one.

Thanks - God Bless

I was having bad headaches last year while on holiday that would wake me in the middel of the night…I took panadine and that helped and I thought noting of it as they went away…but after reading this…if it happens again I will be going to the docs about it…THANK YOU.

I found that whenever something different happens to the way I feel I go see one of my drs. right away. In the past week I can only remember one day that I didn't have a head ache. I will see the pulmonary dr. later this week and see what he says.

I was waking up with sever headaches before I was Dx with sleep apnea. Now since I am on a cpap headaches are gone.Oxgyen level will drop and give you headaches. So ypur Doctor is right about that. Sorry about your skin cancer! I will be praying for you!

Thanks for the prayers. I am schedluled to see the pulmonary dr. next week. Hopefully he can find out for sure whats going on. Thanks again

Remember God doesn't give us more than we can handle. It just seems like it sometimes! HUGS

You are so right, I just need to keep reminding myself of that. It's been a hard road the past 7 years or so. I know with help from him and other like you I'll be ok.
