Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 CPAP stands for constant positive airway pressure and is a machine used by folks who suffer from sleep apnea. It is actually one of several types of machines (I use a bi-pap machine). If someone is experiencing greater than normal fatigue, snores, gains weight unexpectedly (no changes in diet, meds), then sleep apnea is a good thing to rule out because no treatment can lead to high blood pressure, weight gain, fatigue, heart attack, stroke and death. Thrilling, huh? Darlene -- In Fibromyalgia_Support_Group , " Debra #402430 " wrote: > > I believe that CPAP is a machine for sleep apnea.
