RE: Can I get admitted to the hospital 4 oxygen? Plus, Backstory
Update:
So I went to the CPAP Clinic today and they told me not to use my old machine if there is mold in it. They fitted me for a mask .. the Quattro Air one and they tested me on a setting of 4 upright just to see about leaks and such and it seemed okay so that's the one they are going to use for my titration study. But I have crap insurance (free from the state) so I don't know when I can get the study since they said they have had trouble getting insurance approval from my insurance company for the in house studies. If that gets denied there is another route I need to do for an in-home study again where they give you the machine and slowly over 30 days figure out your pressure.
Anyhow I asked when things would start to happen she literally had no idea. She acted like it could be a week or more :-(
Someone suggested buying a used machine outright... I was going to buy the mask bc that's only like $100 but I really cannot afford a $399 machine plus a $100 mask right now as my boyfriend just lost his job and he needs every cent from a new job to make up rent this month.
I am suffering pretty badly... I keep shaking uncontrollably while awake, sometimes I cannot walk smoothly... like literally my muscles go rigid and I walk like a robot, I am getting high heart rate every time I move around (130-140), I also have cold clammy skin. I keep taking multiple naps a day...luckily I have no job or I'd lose it I am sure from not being able to wake up or function well.
Am I going to die from this? Or can this go on for another week or two.. it seems to be getting worse each week. I am really worried that my new and worsening physical symptoms are making it more possible for a sudden stroke/heart attack or at least heart disease.
Should I literally show up at the hospital at the Neurology department and demand someone help me? When you call you literally get put on hold for hours and when you do get someone you get the runaround... so I feel like calling is no use.
Please help!!! Any thoughts would be helpful!
