Hi,

I read from this forum that after using the cpap for some period of time, the blood pressure can drop, hence dropped the amount to comsure of the BP medication as well. I wondered what else could be dropped?

1) BP drop.
2) BP medication drop.
3) Can the AHI naturally drop (after the treatment for sometime)?
4) Can the cpap Air pressure drop as well over the time after reducing AHI?
5) Can the body weight drop?
6) It seems that the heart bit drop as well during the sleep study with cpap espcially at the ending stage of the sleep last 2 hours. Can the heart bit drop?
7) Anything else drops?

Yeah.... if you get (to borrow a musician's term) G.A.S. (gear acquisition syndrome)... like new masks to try, new hose covers, etc...

your bank account can drop...

mine already has, but the 432 seems so much more comfortable than the Comfortful 2 they gave me at the sleep center that it's worth it!

Pulse rate will drop. I can verify that.
What else? Your bank account balance will drop significantly if you are looking for right treatment.

1) BP drop.
Yup

2) BP medication drop.
Talk to your doctor

3) Can the AHI naturally drop (after the treatment for sometime)?
AHI should drop to near zero while you are sleeping with your CPAP. If you even take a nap without your CPAP your AHI will be back up during that nap.

4) Can the cpap Air pressure drop as well over the time after reducing AHI?
Nope

5) Can the body weight drop?
Yup

6) It seems that the heart bit drop as well during the sleep study with cpap espcially at the ending stage of the sleep last 2 hours. Can the heart bit drop?
Yup

7) Anything else drops?
Mental confusion and other psychological issues.

Mens' testosterone levels can increase.
