Suggest treatment for sleep apnea
Patient: i WAS DIAGNOSED WITH SLEEP APNEA IN LATE OCTOBER. I HAVE BEEN USING MY CPAP MACHINE SINCE THAT TIME. I HAVE HAD A COUGH AND BACK PAIN BETWEEN MY SHOULDER BLADES SINCE. MY HUSBAND AND I GOT A NEW MATTRESS BUT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CPAP MACHINE? Doctor: HelloYes it is a common problem and the pressure needs to be adjusted. Meet your physician.RegardsDr. Srikanth
