My husband smokes about 20 a day, although he`s in the process of giving up (again), since being with him and certainly in the last six months I have had no end of chest infections, does anybody think that this could aggravate or be the main reason why I`m getting this condition. I myself have never smoked, drunk or used any other substances.

I attended a sleep study where they found I had 50 episodes an hour. I was sold a unit that seems fine, but the mask I can't seem to live with. Since it was found that I require 16 (psi???, they never explained) the tech told me I could not go with the nasal masks and would require a face mask. Every attempt at home I get so uncomfortable and panicked that I actually yank it off in middle of the night. I know this treatment is necessary for me and everyone says that you get used to it, but I am concerned my case goes a bit farther than the norrmal experience. I dread the mask! My simple questions are outlined below. Thank You!!!!
1. Was it true what the tech told me about the 16 being too much pressure for the nasal unit? I find these much more tolerable.
2. I am looking for spcecifics on brands/models to look at. Are the various headsets interchangeable with the various brands of CPAP machines?
3. Is there a reliable source where actual people rate devices?

My son has real bad asthma. He is 6 and we just found out last year when we thought he had a bad cold with a bad cough and he was really having an asthma attack and had to be in the hospital for 8 days due to a partially collasped lung from muscus plugs and they could not get his oxygen level up. So all this is kinda new for me. He went to the doctor this morning and once again breathing treatments every 4 hours for the next 4 days then down to 3 hours for 3 days.. along with another med for the nebulizer and a steriod plus he 3 meds he is on for the allergies. ( he has allergy induced asthma). I am just so worried about him and scared that I may miss something like I did last year. This morning he had to have 2 treatments back to back to get his breathing under control. Anybody else have kid with asthma this bad that can put my mind at ease.. I am a nervous wreck about this..

What is a good website to find good doctors? I had my second child march 1st I took her to her to the doctors a couple days before she turned two weeks old cause she was breathing weired, I told the doc that sometimes she seems like she is working so hard to get a breath and when she is doing that her throat, well the part that your collar bone at the throat that dips well that caves in allot, and if she isnt doing that she'll hold her breath and then gasp for air, or she will be breathing fast or sometimes she will be breathing normal, but I told her mostly she does it when she is sleeping, so she listened to her chest for not even a minute while my daughter was screaming and said basically her lungs are flopping when she breaths and to just make sure she dont turn blue, what do you guys think that is and what I should do switch doc, get a second opinion or take her back and tell her she is doing it more, if switch docs then do you know if there is a good website to find local docs

After taking my son to the allergist for allergy testing we discovered that he is highly allergic to many things. The doc did xrays and discovered these white spots on my sons lungs. He asked if we were farmers or ever lived in California and when I said no, he said that the radiologist would have to look at the xrays to see what he thought it was. Now we're just waiting and worrying if the symptoms he has had and been labeled asthmatic could be something else.
