Sleep apnea and anxiety

[Kennygrunt]

Just wondering, im also diagnosed with sleep apnea and have to wear cpap machine. Question, even though i have quit smoking does wearing cpap during sleep reduce anxiety and fast heart beat during the day. , ?

Being diagnosed and treated for sleep apnea was one of the best things that happened to me. I did not realize how fatigued I was until I started using the cpap machine. I also had an extra heartbeat that normalized fairly quickly after using the cpap. It also reduced my anxiety because I started getting a decent nights sleep and so I had better coping skills. Good, consistent sleep is essential to anxiety recovery. Finding the right mask for me was a pain and took some time and adjustment, but I understand that is a common complaint with cpap users.
