Cop rapid weight gain

Post by Hildie » Wed Jan 31, 2024 8:32 pm

Has anyone experienced weight gain with CPAP usage? Does it level out or do u continue to gain as long as u continue to use it? Is it possible to take the weight off while still using the CPAP machine?

Also have u seen any statistics on how common this weight gain is?

Cop rapid weight gain? Lay off the doughnuts!

CPAP machines do not cause weight gain, consuming more calories than you burn causes weight gain. Perhaps you're feeling better and your appetite has increased?

It's my understanding that the use of a CPAP, statistically, does just the opposite and people lose weight with proper use.

Weight gain tends to be temporary.
Cpap gave me the energy to eat better and be more active>>>>moderate weight loss.
