@apneareset: CPAP may cause more harm than good, which is what the latest research is showing here. Go to our profile link or click the button on the screen to learn more about breathing exercises for healthier breathing. This is where nuance really matters 👇 For people with more severe sleep apnea, CPAP can absolutely be beneficial and lower risk. But some newer research is raising questions about whether certain lower-risk or milder groups may respond differently. Part of the concern is that increased airway pressure may affect blood vessels and inflammatory signaling in ways researchers are still trying to fully understand 🫁 One pathway being discussed involves angiopoietin-2, which is connected to blood vessel health and inflammation. Now before the internet explodes 😅 This does NOT mean: “CPAP bad for everyone.” It means: Different people may need different approaches based on severity, symptoms, physiology, and overall health. That’s why blindly relying on one tool without looking at the bigger picture can be risky either way. For many people, combining: • Better breathing patterns • Sleep positioning • Nasal breathing • Weight management • Airway exercises alongside proper medical guidance may create much better long-term outcomes. And yes… if people get mad in the comments, at least make it about my hair 😂 Go to our profile link or click the button on the screen to learn more about breathing exercises for healthier breathing.

Well if I don’t use it I feel like I been hit by a truck and if I do use it I feel like I’ve been hit by a person. I prefer the second feeling. Losing weight is also helpful but I’ve been told might not get rid of it either way in my case cause of my anatomy so whomp whomp for me I guess

You made me worried more. My AHI was 20.4 but O2 drops only to 90. My issue was primarily very fragmented sleep. In 6 hrs 8 had 0 deep sleep. My BMI is 24

I have obstructed Sleep Apnea I don’t know how bad that is but I went from 100 episodes an hour to 1.5 max an hour but it’s mostly on the 0.5 range.. I just thought it was funny that I snort. I didn’t know about all the health issues.. pros and cons, but I had to try something

I have REM related sleep apnea and weirdly that is classed as low risk but not breathing when I'm dreaming feels pretty high risk to me, especially if I don't wear my CPAP and wake up struggling to breathe

I’m considered mild, but my daytime sleepiness is excessive. I was put on cpap and trying to adjust. But I just read it can exacerbate my glaucoma. I’m terrified of losing vision, but I feel so sleep deprived. I don’t know what to do.

I was on cpap for 14 years. I have restrictive lung disease due to GSW. I also have sleep apnea. Recently dx with emphysema and they put me on bipap due to co2 retention. I've been on oxygen 2 liters NOC for 26 years due to fibrosis, and semi permanent pleural effusion. So I need a second opinion?
