Humidifier with CPAP

Is it necessary to use a humidifier with CPAP?

Humidifiers are essential for most CPAP users, because the air makes the  nose and throat very dry. Your face mask can easily be modified to use a humidifier attachment, or you can buy a face mask with built-in humidification.

People sometimes suffer apnea only when they are obese and when their weight declines the apnea disappears. Although CPAP machines help people mitigate the effects of apnea, their use may actually keep the patient overweight. A study found that CPAP use is associated with slight increases in body mass index. 

Therefore, I emphasize again, lose weight and your sleep apnea will disappear. Then you will save your money and lead an even better quality of life. CPAP is not a cure for sleep apnea- it makes only a handful of patients feel better, but on the other hand it makes the healthcare professionals who sell this CRAP millionaires.
