How CPAP works to improve ventilation

[christopherhall]

This also explains why breathing exercises improved my apnea? I realized through sitting for work and much of my extracurricular activities led to using only about half of my lung capacity on inhale. Having once been a trumpet player, I started doing some lung capacity exercises and tried to keep my lungs inflated through the day and breathing from the top 25% rather than letting my lungs deflate to below 50% and breathing from the bottom 25-50%. Keeping the rib cage expanded through improved posture and mindful breathing.

Cpap machine, has been a lifesaver for me, since i started using it 2 month ago.

I have a question. Would you get a similar effect with those deep breath holds, when you keep inhaling to increase pressure while your press oxygen to tissue similar like free divers or breathing exercises .I would imagine the pressure and organ expansion to do similar thing?

Is this the same as BiPAP? I thought Bipap is better for ventilation and CPAP better for Oxygenation as it recruits atelectatic lung

I couldn't get used to the machine, and was back charged by Better Night for rental fees.

The cpap machine has a cellular connection with a listening device built in.
