I had wonderful success with this treatment, however, lately I have been somewhat concerned with mild shortness of breath. Dear Jeff, thank you for your question. With sleep apnea, CPAP should reduce the incidence of cardiac complications from prolonged sleep apnea. Thus, I think you should see the pulmonologist who you saw for the CPAP machine about your shortness of breath. I hope you find this information useful.
