Hi ky family,. can somebody please tell me what a Bipap is? thanks martha

Hi, Bipap stands for Bi level positive air pressure. It is used to help with OSA-Obstructive Sleep Apnea, it helps push air into the lungs and helps hold the lungs open to allow more oxygen to enter the lungs. Each time the patient breathes, the BIPAP machine assists the patient by applying air pressure to the lungs while the patient is breathing out (exhaling or expiration) in order to hold open the air sacs in the lungs. There is also CPAP which covers the nose only. I've been using a bipap since june and it has helped me alot. Hope this helps

thanks, tony. its possible that i may have to use one, i read my dr, report and just did'nt ask her what it meant. so why soes it cause fatigue,

I've never heard of it causing fatigue. If anything you will feel much better, I was only getting 1-2 hours of sleep without it and now I get at least 7 hours when using it. you'll probably be going for a sleep study if you haven't already, and they will determine what pressure to set it on.

no not yet, soon thanks for the info.
