Day time xpap benefits

Post by nick2008 » Sun Apr 29, 2018 9:56 am

Are there benefits to cpap/bipap therapy with breathing and oxygen levels during the day?
My lung capacity feels like it has greatly increased since I've started bipap therapy.

Thanks

You sinuses and throat will not be irritated as they were before. It's probably not the internal capacity of the lungs that are at issue, but rather the lungs' access to a freer flow of air in and out.

Cpap helped me get into a habit of breathing easily and more deeply.
not fully understanding why, but I'll take it.

XPAP, makes your body able to repair some of the damage done by untreated Sleep Apnea, that health carries over in the day. No downside to better health, and yes it does seem to make yours lungs stronger and more effective. Jim
