Does Altitude Affect Sleep Apnea?

I now live near the coast in California and use a CPAP machine nightly. I am planning to move to a higher altitude in Colorado (7,000 to 8,000 ft). What effect will this have on my sleep apnea?

    It will not an effect on your sleep apnea, just your machine. Make sure when you get there you change your altitude on your CPAP machine. If not you will not get the prescribed pressure.

    I would let your doctor know. Tha CPAP may need to be calibrated for higher altitudes.

  • My brother-in-law uses CPAP, well he use to use it, he hates it. Most of the time he will not use it because he feels that his snoring is not as serious as it really is and it’s not worth the discomfort. He tried an anti snoring chin strap and he seems to like that better.
