When you have low lung function, your blood is not being properly
oxygenated.
Your body responds to the low blood O2 by generating more red blood cells.
After some time, your blood gets to the consistency of SLUDGE.
The "cure" for this is-
CHEAP- Aspirin
MODERATE- Warfarin, Rat Poison. Not so cheap
with semi-monthly or monthly PT blood tests.
EXPENSIVE- Lovenox About $180-$200 per
injection. TWICE A DAY. You self-inject using insulin syringes
Poor lung function produces the same symptoms as RIGHT SIDE HEART FAILURE.
The obvious solution is to either improve lung function (a *shudder* lung
transplant);
~OR~
Increase blood oxygenation.
That's what the VPAP does for me. At extremely low cost, Zero danger
from complications, no persistent checkups or testing required.
If it works for you, you will be the first to know, because it makes you
feel 10,000 percent better in mere HOURS
I cannot overstate what a fantastic therapy the VPAP has been for my COPD.

Having the pressurized air going into my lungs and keeping my blood O2 level high has eliminated most of the "Right Side Heart Failure" symptoms.
It has eliminated my DVT problems, my Edema problems. I no longer take Warfarin or Lasix. I no longer take any of the "heart pills". Two years ago, I had about 20 prescriptions.
Now I take NONE. I take an Aspirin occasionally.
