Side Effects of Using a BiPAP Machine
Sleep apnea obstructs airway flow and impairs your ability to get restorative sleep, according to the American Sleep Apnea Association. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to headaches, high blood pressure and mental impairment that can impact everything from driving to doing your job. A Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure Machine (BiPap) provides pressurized air during the night using a mask, and monitors breathing via an electronic circuit. The most common side effects of using a BiPap are treatable and mild.
