At least he's getting some help for it now, maybe the other housemates might be able to get more sleep

Screaming

Nasty!

.

:nono:

So you all think his weight is not contributing to his health issues? It’s not nasty to point that out..:skull:

Well, it's not nice though is it? Also, I think you'll find it's against the rules of the forum to attack housemates' physical attributes and frankly I thought you were better than that.

They are clearly worried he is going to die while on the show. Must be scary for the housemates and production that he does keep just stopping breathing for a while. **** knows how he thinks thats normal and something to laugh about. Hopefully he has a full checkup and that when he leaves the house too, as this mask will help greatly and its something he maybe needs at home.

I have no idea what your watching but all I see Tomasz as is a skinny legend

Yet its okay to be ‘screaming’ at him in an oxegen mask because his lung can’t cope, I see...I’m pointing out the obvious, laughing at him in an oxegen mask is far nastier imo

Correct Vicky, but apparently is fine to laugh at him, but pointing out losing weight could save his life is not okay

...I’ve been reading quite a bit about sleep apnoea and it seems a vicious circle really because weight gain through the short and disruptive sleeping pattern is also quite common...so it’s really difficult for someone suffering to lose weight as well...and very easy for weight to be gained ...the masks like he has been given are the best soloution given by doctors as they also know how difficult it can be for someone to lose weight...poor Tomasz, it must be awful to live with and not get great sleep with his condition...:sad:...

Honestly, I would agree with that. I don't think its funny at all that hes having to have this mask. I also see no problem that you point out that losing weight could also help a lot..its true. Now if you had randomly called him a fat bastard or something then yes, that would be an issue..but you didn't do that.

I doubt he gained that much weight from sleep apnea. In all likelihood, his being overweight played a big factor in how he developed the disease.

And no, it's not funny that someone requires a CPAP machine. Maybe a bit surprising at first :laugh: But not funny as OMG, it's the most hilarious thing ever, he's wearing a mask, etc... Untreated, it will definitely cause him more harm than good later on if his oxygen is chronically low. It's linked to heart-disease and afib as well, which can lead to fluid in lungs, which can lead to even more breathing/oxygen issues (and subsequently even more health problems)... basically, BB did the right thing...

Obesity is one of the main causes of sleep apnea...

There’s one thing attacking and mocking someone’s weight which I don’t approve of, but like clearly it’s playing a role in a literally deadly condition

I know it's serious but I kinda cackled at this and then realised it's possible:worry:

Have I missed something? Has he stopped breathing for a bit when he’s been asleep?

Yes a housemate pointed it out before on the show iirc

I think he made a comment first night that he might stop breathing, but added not to worry as he'll start again.

To al those who find it amusing, my 27 year old daughter died from sleep apnea.

What should be realised is that it is not only whilst sleeping at night, if he falls asleep at any time without this mask, he could stop breathing.

Only writing this, to those who find it funny, it is a life threatening condition.

...I’m so, so very sorry Poppy...:hug:...just an awful thing for you to watch Tomasz as well suffering from the same condition and the heartbreaking associations that must give you...I can’t even imagine and I’m so sorry...:sad:...




...just to say though...I don’t think anyone finds his condition amusing in any way as such...so far as I can see in the thread..every single member who ‘laughed’ is a fan of Tomasz and is completely supportive of him in every way and don’t feel anything mean toward him..I think it was just an initial thing that sometimes happens....when we can laugh inappropriately and without thought as a reaction, you know...and we’ve all done that I feel ...and we can all laugh at things without giving thought and at inappropriate times ...but we’re not really laughing at that person as such..or anything they’re going through...

Sorry to hear that poppsy.

Yeah I don't find it funny in the slightest tbh.
