Will cpap treatment lead to weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OSA?: If you’re referring to weight loss and CPAP in the context of OSA, I can say that CPAP will not directly cause weight loss, but if you’re using CPAP and sleeping better you’d certainly have more energy to exercise for weight loss.
