If you are suffering from sleep apnea, it can hamper your daily sleep and negatively impact your overall health. Many of us suffer from this problem. Generally, the doctor suggests using a positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine as a sleep apnea treatment. But it is not the ultimate solution to prevent sleep apnea. It may work for a stipulated period of time.

However, in a few cases, a CPAP machine can create more trouble instead of solving it. You may not feel well due to the machine for a while. In that case, you have to look for an alternative solution to prevent sleep apnea. Here, we have discussed the symptoms so that you can understand that the CPAP machine is not good for you.

  • If you use the CPAP machine for a while, then you can experience bloating and stomach pain. You can suffer from this because the air from the machine goes into the stomach instead of the lungs.

  • You can also notice irritation in your skin including peeling skin, acne, and skin discomfort, or . This skin irritation is caused by a dirty mask.

  • If you do not clean the positive airway pressure machine appropriately, then bacteria and mold can be grown into the mask. If you breathe through this dirty mask, you may have a risk of getting a sinus infection, an asthma attack, other lung problems and a reactive airway disease.

  • If the CPAP machine does not work properly, then you may feel tired all the time. You can also snore due to the same problem.

  • As you have to wear this positive airway pressure mask, in that case, you may notice a stuffy nose, frequent dryness and also nosebleeds.

  • Keep in mind that it does not only cause physical problems but also mental problems. The patients who wear the mask can also feel claustrophobic. It happens frequently if you wear a full-face mask.

If you observe these symptoms lately, then you should not waste your precious time. You should consult with a specialist for sleep apnea treatment.
