How does a cpap machine cure me from apnea? Please someone explain to me how by putting this machine, my brain learn to send orders to breath?

Answer 1

Short of breath: Yes that is a normal oxygen level. See your doctor as to why you are shourt of breath.

Answer 2

Short of breath: If you are short of breath with normal oxygenation, that implies you have an increased work of breathing. You should see your doctor and get checked out.

Answer 3

No: Not normal. Many reasons for shortness of breath. See your regular MD.

Answer 4

TMJ disorder: A locked jaw is usually due to a temporomandibular joint that is injured or displaced. This could happen when you are ill from clenching too much, or a wide yawn if you already have aproblem with the joint. Go see an ent. If severe a few days of a steroid will help, then you may need an occlusion splint made by a dentist.

Answer 5

Get tested: There are many possible causes of unexplained fever ranging from infection, autoimmune diseases, even certain cancers. Please get tested by a doctor soon.

Answer 6

Remember...: Remember why you started in the first place and how much better you felt while doing it. Also, schedule it as an appointment. Even if you don't want to do it, do 10 minutes. You can always find 10 minutes. Right?

Answer 7

Visualize how you’ll: feel & look when you’re at your best. Think about what motivated you to lose weight in the first place. Insure calories burned > calories consumed. Drink at least 8 - 8 oz glasses of water/day & 5 servings of veggies & 4 servings of fruit per/day. Eat whole grain. Avoid sodas, alcohol & junk carbohydrates. Get a good mix of aerobic & weight lifting exercises.

Answer 8

Not your periods: Both menses sound normal being moody is likely related to other circumstances (husband, kids, job, money ?).

Answer 9

Absolutely not!: There is no rationale for taking metformin or Onglyza (saxagliptin) in that fashion and taking such large amounts all at once may lead to toxic side-effects.

Answer 10

Probably not good: The high dose on one day- may adversely affect blood glucose and the break of five days will throw the balance off completely.
