Defib heart implant and CPAP ...AHI !!!

Defib heart implant and CPAP ...AHI !!!

Five weeks ago, soon after a 3 week bout with COVID and Flu, I had a Pacemaker / Defib Implant.

During Covid I stopped using the CPAP (by necessity) and restarted promptly after the implant.

My AHI events have never returned down to what I was relatively comfortable with.

Anyone had any experience of this?

Cardio says it should not have any effect on CPAP and I am yet to ask my Sleep CPAP Advisor.

One line of thought is I am still getting over procedure and COVID.

I would definitely give your new normal/healing a fair amount of time to settle.
So, yes! It is too soon to tell.
