Essentially a machine connect to a mask which pumps air under pressure to the lungs keeping the windpipe open while you re asleep.
My cpap machine gives me a headache.
5 5 5 events per hour instead of the 17 i was having during the study.
Let s run down some common causes and discover what to do to stop headache pain.

When the cpap machine is being used some of the sinus cavities are blocked.
This creates a situation where there is a pressure differential between each of the sinus cavities.
Headaches can be a common symptom of cpap use.
The windpipe remains unobstructed thus helping with obstructive sleep apnea.
