Q: I’m 178 cm, 78 kg and suffer from Sleep Apnoea and nocturnal hypertension due to heavy snoring. My CPAP machine helps to enhance oxygen level but doesn’t lower BP unless I strap my lower jaw tightly to prevent snoring. Medicines do not help. What do you suggest?
A: To get complete benefits from CPAP, the device must be fitted and used correctly. As you need to strap your jaw tightly, I am concerned about the fit of your device. You may want to visit a respiratory therapist to ensure that you are using your device properly and have a mask that is well suited to your face.
