A member asked:
Are there any complications related to sleep apnea that causes swollen feet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Edema: Edema or swollen feet are a sign of severe sleep apnea. If it's worse, then perhaps your CPAP settings are insufficient. Or your oxygen levels may still be low, so added oxygen may be beneficial. Also, your thyroid hormone could be checked since a deficiency can causes edema. Please consult your sleep specialist.
