Medical disclaimer

CPAP Insider is written by a person who uses CPAP therapy. It is not written by a doctor, a respiratory therapist, or any licensed medical professional, and it is not medical advice.

• Nothing on this site diagnoses a condition or prescribes a treatment.
• Do not start, stop, or change CPAP therapy — including pressure settings, ramp, humidification, or mask type — based on anything you read here. Those decisions belong with your sleep physician or DME provider.
• Obstructive and central sleep apnea are serious medical conditions. Untreated sleep apnea is associated with real cardiovascular and daytime-safety risks. If you think you have sleep apnea, or your therapy isn’t working, see a clinician.
• Content may become out of date. Devices are updated, recalled, and discontinued; guidance changes. Always check the current instructions for use for your specific equipment.
• If you are having a medical emergency, call your local emergency number.
