A wonderful St. Elizabeth home care nurse explained Cheyne-Stokes to me. I was caring for my late partner, who died of AIDS in 1994. I bless her name frequently, for preparing me so kindly. The passing was calm and quiet.

THANKS NURSE RYAN, the way you explain the process makes it so easy to understand, NOT to mention how much information provided! Again THANKS

@NurseRyan My brother suffered an SAH and was immediately Level 3 Glascow Coma Scale. The EMS report stated Cheyne Stokes's breathing, and he has always wondered what that was. He survived following the coiling procedure to stop the hemorrhaging. No true neurological deficits. He's a trooper ✝️

Thank you so much

Central sleep apnea often occurs if you take Antipatalet medications like Plavix or Brilique. Ruins your brain and your memory, until you die, unless you discover that the medication is to blame. 5 days after i stopped, Central apnea disappeared, and after a couple of years my brain was back to normal. Weired experience. 😅

Imagine you go back home and see the whole house trashed with the word cheyne stoking graffitied into the walls

Many people on CPAP can develop central Apneas and C-S breathing.

That's true! Treatment-emergent central sleep apnea is a cause of CPAP use.

Is it more common to exhibit the pattern when you first fall asleep and close to waking up? I just started cpap and that is the trend I'm seeing so far.

That's a good question! I looked it up and according to sleepfoundation.org, "This pattern mostly occurs during sleep, particularly stage one and stage two non-REM sleep, but can also occur while awake." Hopefully someone else can add their experiences, as I don't have any more information about it. I would definitely recommend asking your doctor about it too!

I recently was diagnosed as having Heart Failure. I watched a few videos on the subject to find that this type of breathing is associated with End of Life symptoms. Does this mean I may die soon like a few years from now?

Is this what a pilot would describe as “air hunger”?

My mom's (end of life) apnea is 70 seconds. Any guess on how long before she stops breathing?

@NurseRyan

5 ай бұрын

I'm really sorry to hear that. 70 seconds is a very long period for end of life apnea. You can never know how long it will be, but my guess is that it wouldn't be long.

Can this be caused by altitude?

@NurseRyan

I have read online that it can be caused in high altitudes, especially to those not used to high altitudes, but I do not have any personal experience in that setting.

My name is literally cheyne (shane)
