A member asked:
I have scoliosis and i have just been diagnosed with co2 retention i have been given a nippv machine to use at home. do you think this is ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to your doctor: It should be fine, but express your concern to the doctor prescribing the nippv. The scoliosis is not a reason to forgo treatment of the co2 retention. Get a second opinion if you are still concerned.
