Stop CPAP Side Effects and Issues: Use Bilevel

“Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.”
-Marilyn vos Savant (American Author and Playwright – 1946 -  )


Many CPAP Side Effects and Issues were caused by using the sleep apnea machine which I had to deal with. To stop all these side effects and issues, I used a ResMed S9 VPAP Bilevel auto adjusting pressure machine. By changing to a Bilevel or BiPAP machine from CPAP, I was able to achieve success by having a great night's sleep every night and to wake up feeling refreshed and energized each day! 

Below are the many side effects and issues that I have overcome and stopped from occurring again. Beside each side effect and issue is a link to the blog page and/ or blog post that provides further details of what I actually did to stop these side effects and issues.
