Which Humidifier Is Advisable For A Heart And Sleep Apnea Patient?
My mother is 70 with CHD history, prior bypass, lupus, and stents. She also has sleep apnea and uses a CPAP. Her humidifier broke and it was a cheap one and I am buying her a new one. For a patient like this are there any better minimum specs I should look for in a humidifier to help her breathing troubles or are they all the same?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Humidity acts as a natural moisturizing agent that can relieve dryness. Different types of humidifiers available in the market, like vaporizers or evaporater or impeller humidifier or central humidifier or ultrasonic humidifier s. Ultrasonic humidifier s are the best choice they may expel heat or cool mist. Cool version is good for her, but she may need complete examination before taking appropriate humidifier.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
