I just left hospital. I have an extremely high level carbon monoxide in my system. I had not realized until today that in using my new cap machine I have never hooked up the separate oxygen line to machine. I just never got clear instructions on how to use Capp. I just found this out, my doctor and the hospital released me saying they could not help me any more. My lungs, are full of fluid and I have excess fluid around, even in my stomach, legs and feet. MY QUESTION. Could my miss use of clap caused all this. Thanks for reply. My email is -- YYYY@YYYY ---thanks
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Improper use of CPAP machine can not cause directly what you are having. But it can indirectly cause all those symptoms. Improper CPAP use can lead to right sided heart failure. This in turn causes fluid retention and accumulation in legs, abdomen, lungs etc. So better to start diuretics (furosemide) along with CPAP machine under guidance of your doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
