RA with PHA, Sleep apnea
My mom is been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and had used CPAP for a couple of months, and now stopped using it. The reason for this is probably Rheumatoid Arthritis and Pulmonary Heart Failure. Please advise if she still needs to continue CPAP as it is difficult for her to handle it by herself. Kindly advise if this can be treated using medication. Thank you

Hi. I understand your concerns. If sleep apnea is severe she will need cpap. Consult a pulmonologist for the same. Hope your questions were answered.
