Got to go for a lung function test

[Yorkiegirl]

as part of the build up to me having my tonsils out they want to check my lung function and then my oxygen levels overnight. If they are low then I might have to have CPAP at home.

What's CPAP?

continuous positive airway pressure
Basically a machine which blows air into your lungs through your nose and makes sure you don't stop breathing. Preemie babies are often on it. I would have it as last time I was in the sleep clinic I stopped breathing 11 times in the night.

Ahhh! The thing you have that makes you look like a nelliphant when you sleep!

Drastic! Are you worried?

not really worried. Just want to have my tonsils out as they really cause me a problem. Fed up of getting tonsilitis

Is it the tonsils that causes your sleep apnoea?
DH thinks he gets it...Do you feel knackered in the morning?

Am permanently tired. Yes I know having small kids makes you tired, but not tired like this!
