Sleep Apnea and CPAP
 

:) Hi all,

Anybody else using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea?
I understand from the literature that obese patients often lose weight when using the machines, they are not sure why. I know I am feeling much better and ready to work on my weight. (Hope it will work for me :lol:!)

I'd like to share experiences about the CPAP and total health and well being if anybody else is using one.

Yes, I have sleep apnea and I use a CPAP, and so does my husband. It's the only way we would ever be able to sleep in the same room! I haven't noticed too much change in my weight, we both feel better, and that's been a great benefit.



We both have a one year old son, so the extra energy has been a plus, on many levels.

My brother has sleep apnea and is on the machine at night. He has noticed a difference in his energy level and, I believe, be cause of the additional energy is more mobile. He has also lost some weight. Good luck!!
