Yay.

Oxygen level went from 93 to 98 within seconds of putting on the bipap. I utterly love not having to go to the ER when I get short of breath anymore.

And yes both my GP and pulmonologist tell me this is a great use for a bipap, as long as it actually works. My mom, a former RT, says that on the kind of settings I have it sort of functions as a noninvasive ventilator. As for me, I never knew I could love a medical machine this much. Oxygen is the sort of thing that you don’t know how great it is until you have too little of it, and then you love anything that will increase it.
