CPAP Q&A: What are the side effects of using CPAP?

CPAP Q&A: 1. What are the side effects of using CPAP?

CPAP therapy helps with sleep apnea, but adjusting to it can take time. Some common side effects include:

💨 Dry mouth or stuffy nose
😴 Mask discomfort or air leaks
🌬️ Bloating from swallowed air
😕 Skin irritation or pressure marks
💤 Feeling “trapped” by the mask

Most of these can be managed with small adjustments—better mask fit, humidity settings, or switching to a different style. CPAP remains the most effective treatment for sleep apnea, and finding the right setup makes all the difference.
