Would plants affect a person living with apnea?


Would chinese plants or certain plants cause breathing problems for people living with apnea?

Anyone who has experienced living with apnea, and know first hand on the subject, kindly give or share some of the things that anyone should and should not do while coping with apnea-BIG thanks!

I have sleep apmea and I say YES there are some plants that DO cause people breathing problems---those who are allergic to certain plants for example---could definitely have trouble breathing... however, sleep apnea is not necessarily caused by allergies.... I use a c-pap machine (a machine with a mask that covers my mouth and nose and pulse pumps oxygen through the mask into my lungs while I sleep--- if one has allergies to certain plants and those plants are present where this person SLEEPS, it stands to reason that their breathing would be affected while sleeping OR awake... one should remove the plants that are causing the problem from the room where the person sleeps.....BUT that will not CURE sleep apnea.... Since sleep apnea causes one to STOP breathing altogether for several seconds or more, a plant allergy could severely hinder breathing futher... With the c-pap machine on and oxygen pulsing through the mask, the risk might be smaller, but it's still there so just be safe and don't sleep with any plants in your room that you might be allergic to....

I like your ideas, and will definitely follow up on your suggestions Report It
