Used to walk 5000 steps easily every day. Now have to stop every 20 steps to rest to catch breath. Pulse shoots immediately to 130 . Certain I have Obesity Hypo-ventilation Syndrome. Dedicated keto fast weight loss program diet down by 14kg in 8 weeks. To have sleep apnea tests Tuesday. Need help breathing help so that I reach target weight 98 by year end. Would CPAP or other oxygen help? New weight loss drugs to try or a NO NO or what? Is bariatric surgery a good option?

I wear a CPAP every night since I stop breathing anywhere from 15-20 times each hour all night long. I would wake up all of the time and be very tired the next day. My heart failure doctor is the doctor who had me go through a sleep study. I have worn a CPAP since the year 2000. At first it was alittle hard to get used to but I had to stick with it. I sleep very soundly now and the extra pressure has help strengthen my lungs. I am still tired throughout the day but all of my heart problems are to blame. I hope that helps you some about sleep apnea.
