Good to see you back, Minerva.

Mine decreased at first, to the point that my doc took me off BP meds for a while. But it started creeping back up again and now I'm back on full dose (which is still a pretty low dosage). I also added about 10 pounds and for a variety of good reasons (excuses) I haven't spent quite as much time at the gym as I used to. Of course age has nothing to do with any of this.

My blood pressure now is just a little past normal, after being treated for years for being sky high. I think it's more because 3/4 of my heart output has stopped, than XPAP. The cure I took, you don't want. Jim

Mine went up. But I also gained weight after starting CPAP. Hoping to have gastric bypass(lap) in Aug. or Sept. Maybe my BP will be more managable(taking small dose of lisinopril now) and maybe my CPAP pressure will decrease(15cm now). Time will tell. Have to stay on track to get surgery done by end of summer.

I've been on this therapy since September of 06. Nothing has changed in any of my symptoms.

My BP has been a bit higher, but I consider the development of A-Fib part of the problem brought about by undiagnosed/untreated SA.

yes, it's a poll

Did your blood pressure increase, decrease, or stay the same after CPAP treatment?
