About Me
70 years old and also have COPD. My breathing problems are usually after exercise, but am rather healthy. I am going to Curves to keep myself as healthy as possible. Have 4 grand children and in March with have a great grand daughter. Wow, Intend to live long enough to see the grands grow up. Being retired gives me more time to do some of the things I never got a chance to do, life is great, (except for the economy) Life long ambition is to travel, like Rome, Paris, Ireland. Soon, I hope.

Close Sleep Apnea
Was surprised to discover both the COPD and sleep apena. Am still doing looking for additional information about both. Have an additional problem, restless legs, and I take Requip and 30 minutes later it helps me sleep, with my neck pillow and I pull up the covers and make sure the CPAP tubes are on top, I sleep well for at least 8 hours, wake up with a head ache.
Treatments
- CPAP Working / Worked
- I seem to do well with my machine, could use more humidity, If I can sleep on my back, pillow under my knees and neck pillow to keep my head from moving, do not get all stopped up. Appears that the sinus cavities fill when my head is turned and I think that causes my wake up headaches. They usually go away after I get up. But i have a problem trying to decide if I have a cold, runny nose, sore throat or just side effects of the mask. The cough is from the COPD. Would like to know more.
- Lose Weight Working / Worked
- I am going to C URVES and we are starting a diet plan. Need to lose at least 30 pounds and the exercise appears to keep the blood pressure stable. I know that I will feel better when I lose the weight,
