Sleep apnea & COPD

Hi Everyone,

How is everyone doing? I am doing fairly well. Keeping my showers cool and moving in a slower motion.

I have a question. I will be using a sleep apnea machine with a humidifier soon. I know that humidity in the shower makes breathing more difficult for people with COPD. So, will the machine with the humidifier affect my breathing while I try to sleep? Does anyone here at the forum use the sleep apnea machine with a humidifier?

Hey Nancy! Nice to know you’re doing well!

I use a CPAP with a humidifier. If I don’t use it the air is just too dry. Mine also has a heater on it, but I don’t use it – it just makes air too hot and dry…

I love my passover humidifier. It seems to cool the air and helps me breath better.

Hope that helps…
