Yes many people do It may help your AF since SA is a common cause.

Hi I use a Cpap with Af and helps alot with sleep...and the af

[secondtry]

Have you tried nasal strips first?

CPAP can actually stop PAF - it’s not only safe but recommended. My sats used to be around 92-94 in AF - having used CPAP for about 4 years now they don’t drop below 97 - it is the one therapy that has improved QOL more than anything else.

My EP would not do ablation until I had sleep test and then got a cpap

[Hidden]

I would say that is essential

And I have been on CPAP for almost as long as my AF has been diagnosed!
