Hi all,
My husband started using a bipap during the night. He is experiencing a lot of anxiety to the point of feeling panic. He said that he thinks about waking me numerous times during the night and even if he did I would only be able to reassure him. He feels claustrophobic and worries about his breathing. He doesn't want to use the nose mask and thinks some of his problems with his breathing has to do with his anxiety/panic.
I was wondering if anyone's PAL used some kind of anti-anxiety medication during the night. Is is safe to use with compromised breathing?
Thanks,
Tammy
