You can't get memory loss using a Cpap machine.

But you sure can get it if you don't use one.

I have found that my memory has improved since I started cpap. I can keep a lot more things in my head, and I'm much less forgetful. Whomever told you that cpap causes memory loss had it precisely backwards!

You won't get it FROM using a cpap machine unless you drop it on your head.
But there is no guarantee you won't get dementia or Alzheimer's from your genetic heritage or environment (but it is less likely)
Using a cpap machine has brought my memory and mental functioning back to better then it was 10 years ago.

Not from XPAP, but it's possible if you keep listening to the people you have been hanging with. Jim

Your 'friends' are either grossly misinformed;
or they are pulling your leg.
Ignore them.
