Continue to have Seizures with CPAP

Posted by Yuber on January 15, 2003 at 08:04:58:

I have Sleep Apnea(at least that is what they diagnosed me with) because I have had Seizures. I am also overweight which is why I was diagnosed with it. I have had 6 Seizures that I know of and 3 iof them were with a CPAP and at lvl 10. I am told that I do stop breathing during the seizures and that I turn extremely blue in the face. I went to the doctor yesterday(Jan. 14th, 2003) and got Dylantin in hope of stopping or having less frequent Seizures.

P.S. I have had Seizures more frequently with the CPAP than without.
