Suffering From Insomnia, Sleep Apnea. Use Cpap Machine. On Anti-depressant. Average BP Remains Same. Why?
I am a 42 year old male I suffer from Insomnia and sleep apnea , i use a cpap machine and also on BP medication and anti depressants, I just took my BP 6 times it avarages 116/66 howe is that?
I understand your concerns. Insomnia is a very common problem and yours seems to be secondary to sleep apnea. I am glad you are using the CPAP machine and are on antidepressants. I think that your blood pressure is high due to the reason that you have sleep apnea. I would think, losing weight, exercising and also taking your BP medications regularly will help resolve the issue.
I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
