Steve & Myrlita Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) I'm having a hard time phathoming any hospital sending you home without 1st establishing your O2 level. If tips are blue, that's a "Red Alert" Edited October 8, 2015 by Steve & Myrlita 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richieboy67 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 Hey guys, thanks I'm not a smoker. I'll post a cost report later. I feel a little better today but my nails are still blue. I slept better last night though and was able to breath better. The problem I've been having is getting a deep breath. At the hospital they next did an oxygen test on my finger. BTW. We went to St Cabrini because it is right down the road from me. It probably isn't the cheapest place here. Thanks so much guys, appreciate it.

Richieboy67 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 Sleep apnea, affects people who are grossly overweight. Dismiss that. Sounds like asthma. Any history of that? Any audible wheezing? No history of asthma and no wheezing but the air quality around here is not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richieboy67 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Thanks, I was just saying to my wife I probably shouldn't hit the weights today. I hate missing my workouts but as long as it is only a day or two it's OK. I have my ac and my headphones so quiet is not a problem. :) Edited October 9, 2015 by Richieboy67 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrepid Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Sleep apnea, affects people who are grossly overweight. Dismiss that. Well, I'm not a doctor but you are correct in as much that being grossly overweight is one causing factor of sleep apnea. However, it does affect any body type. I know several people that are skinny with sleep apnea using cpap. But I sure there are many more fat people with sleep apnea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richieboy67 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 I am not sure on this but I thought sleep apnea is basically when you stop breathing during sleep? My issue is not being able to get a deep breath even when awake but it also effects my sleep. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richieboy67 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) For the most part it is pretty quiet here at least compared to the bamboo house we were staying in for my first 2 months here in the Philippines. We still get the fireworks, chickens and dogs and we can't forget the kerioki but our apartment is built with cement so most sounds from outside are not so loud. The sound of the ac blocks it out as well. The rain though is another thing all together. A steal roof and rain are not a good mix. When it pours here I cannot even hear the TV.
